A big thank you to Chief Meteorologist Steve Beylon from WBAY’s Action 2 News for helping our kindergartners become “weather ready”! He shared a fun story, helpful safety tips, and the memorable phrase, “When thunder roars, go indoors!” The students were thrilled to learn from a real meteorologist. #brillionlions

Parents can catch a glimpse of their young learners on Monday, November 17th, when Action 2 News will feature clips every half hour on the 10’s and 40’s. Please tune in to see our budding weather experts in action! #brillionstem #brillionlions

The 4K students had a breezy time in the STEM Center learning all about how the wind blows! They experimented with different weighted items to discover what moves easily in the wind and what doesn’t. Through hands-on exploration, they observed, compared, and made predictions — all while having fun watching the power of the wind in action! #brillionstem #brillionlions

Students in the Extended Care program created a colorful mural full of fall-themed items! We learned that a mural is a work of art that many people can help create. Students ages 4 to 12 worked together and had so much fun lying on their stomachs while coloring this creative masterpiece! 🍂🎨 #brillionlions

STEM came to life for our 3rd graders as they explored genetics and adaptation! By testing how different “beaks” picked up various “foods,” students discovered how traits like beak shape help birds thrive in their habitats. #brillionstem #brillionlions

The kindergartners enjoyed a special visit from Miss Fischer’s brother, a firefighter with the Forest Junction Fire Department! 🚒 He read an entertaining story about a fire hydrant and reminded students that firefighters may look different in their gear, but they’re always there to help — not to be afraid of. ❤️ #brillionlions.
