SPAN (Synergy/SAGE Parent Action Network) will host its next meeting on Thursday January 10 at 7pm in the WestWood Media Center. Our focus will be on advanced middle school programming. Both middle school principals and a panel of middle school teachers teaching advanced sections will be in attendance. Our second annual Synergy/SAGE Family Night will be on Thursday Feb. 7 from 6:30-8:30pm in the Hidden Oaks cafeteria. Representatives from The Works (www.theworks.org ) will be setting up stations where kids can build and explore STEM concepts. We may also have some district teachers setting up their own stations with science experiments. Please see our website (www.mcgt.net/priorlake ) in January for more information and to RSVP.
