All K-5 students are invited to our Maker Madness Family STEM Event! We invite your entire family to come and enjoy self-paced activities for students in grades K-5. Activities include: making buttons with the Barrington Area Library, building the tallest paper towers, engineering a safe landing device, and using some of our STEM tools to design, build, and test a grabbing "claw" device.

This event will be held at Prairie Campus. To maximize participation, we are hosting two sessions for this event.
  • Session I:  1:00-2:30 PM
  • Session II: 3:00-4:30 PM
A sign up will go out to families after winter break and it is first come first serve.

    I love teaching art to my wonderful Rose students. Not only do I get to inspire them, but they inspire me as well. They make me want to work harder, be a better person, and achieve more every year.

    I love teaching kindergarten because the children come to school with a "blank slate" and I get to be a part of their first school experience. Rose School is a wonderful place to learn and grow! Once a stingray, always a stingray!Jen WessbergTeacher
