Technology/ STEM Education
Every student at Western is supplied with an Apple iPad in grades K-12. This allows students the ability to access the internet for research, web based apps, digital curriculum, and project creation. Each classroom is configured with projectors that allow teachers to share with students.
Over the past three years we have been awarded grants from the DOE and others (IN-Mac) totaling over $125,000 to increase our STEM capabilities as a corporation. With this money, we have invested in PLTW units for our Primary and Intermediate students and we have grown our STEM Labs in both buildings. Megan McGrew grades K-2 and Natalie Wheeler 3-5 are our STEM Special Area teachers and have done an amazing job with our first school year with STEM as a special area.
Additionally, we have been able to invest in our courtyard area outside of the Primary with a variety of outdoor STEM activities and materials.
