The goal of Share the Fair is for every student at West Greene Elementary to be able to walk away from the Scholastic Book Fair with a book! The money collected will go towards purchasing books for students that would otherwise leave the fair empty-handed. If you would like to contribute, please click on the book fair link and then click on "contribute now" where it says Share the Fair. If sharing online is not your thing, you can also send money with your student (please just send a note with it so we know what the money is for) or donate money to Mrs. Bohon .Thank you for supporting our readers! https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/westgreeneelementarycenter1

Yesterday, Mrs. Bohon took a team of 5th graders to the IU1 STEM Design Challenge featuring K'Nex at Penn West California. Students had to create a prototype that addressed a real-world problem related to infrastructure, transportation, or urban development. West Greene students chose a design to deal with flooding and droughts. The students had to build their design and present their ideas to a team of judges. There were over 10 teams competing in the 4th & 5th grade division. West Greene's team did really well and only missed placing in the top 3 by half a point!

Their design held 120 grams. Great job girls!
