In November 2019, Waynesburg Central Elementary School was awarded a nearly $500 Community Grant from The Community Foundation of Greene County. The grant was used to fund the “Once Upon A STEAM Night” family engagement activity held on December 4, 2019.

At this event, elementary students and family members created LED Christmas cards for their family and for a local rehabilitation and care center with the help of elementary staff volunteers and high school student volunteers.

Students and their families also participated in STEAM stations that revolved around fairytales. Through the use of Ozobots, BeeBots and STEM Tales students retold the fairytales and created objects to help the characters solve their problems, such as a bed for Goldilocks and a bridge for the Billy Goats in Three Billy Goats Gruff.

On December 18, 2019, the fifth grade chorus delivered the LED Christmas Cards and ornaments to the Waynesburg Rehabilitation and Care Center, along with singing Christmas Carols for the residents and staff. Special thanks to the Community Foundation of Greene County for the grant to make these events possible. Memories were made by all this holiday season!
