The Participatory Budget Vote is going to go live online on 3/23. We'll be doing our best to "Get Out the Vote" the week of the 16th. One of the proposals is for new "Street Trees”. Here is one of our Terrapins to tell us why this is so important! #mauremagnet55 @AdrienneEAdams

Members of our student council had a working weekend! We attended the Project Arts Expo for D28, creating materials to promote our proposals in the Participatory Budget! We worked hard, had fun and met with members of @AdrienneEAdams staff. #mauremagnet55

Hey @EiE_org 4th graders tried to design a boat that can withstand the weight of pennies. This challenge was related to their PBL unit, which is around how Native Americans utilized their geography to their advantage (ex- using Birchbark trees to build canoes) #mauremagnet55

Our amazing science teacher, Mr Sandler said, “Good scientists build models to test their theories- here, our 4th graders are building simple circuits to learn about energy systems and our 5th graders construct model terrariums to explore ecosystem restoration” #mauremagnet55
