Fun!visor & Lego Exhibition |
|
As LEGO Club prepares for its end-of-year LEGO exhibition we will be taking apart LEGO structures not in progress as current student builders are requesting more pieces. Please encourage your students to come to LEGO Club as pieces of those structures that haven't been worked on for some time will be shared. LEGO Club is one of Springer's Fun!visor Programs and is held in the Multi on Mondays at lunch. It is open to all students 1st through 6th grade. Springer is fortunate to have had several hundred pounds of LEGO donated for its students to use over the past five years. LEGO donations are always appreciated and can be dropped off in the Springer Office. Parents are encouraged to volunteer and help students build on Mondays. Questions please contact Laurie Pasmooij. |
