See more on the link below… http://asianjournal.com/news/glendale-grade-school-celebrates-earth-day-with-stem-focusedactivities/ Our families are conscious of recycling. The robots and other sculptured ideas showed how our families engaged themselves in the Science process. We collaborate to help keep this world green. The task calls us all to examine how we use and share the goods of the earth and how we live in harmony with God's creation. - Fr. Jim Bevacqua, Pastor - Holy Family Catholic Community 3 Recycling is important because it helps maintain our environment. We can make many things out of recyclables. HFGS made this a reality during Earth Day. The display of robots created by students from all grades showed their creativity, as they truly embraced all aspects of STEM. Technology has become an essential part of our lives, and our students have shown their knowledge and skills by creating amazing robots using only recyclable materials from home. - Ms. Maria Talavera, Media & Technology Specialist 4 Spring Concert 2015 Class of 2015 performed last year’s Rock ‘N Roll Spring Concert.
