PTO POSTS
  • STEAM programs:  Learn more at STEAM!   
  • Robot Rodeo:  Thanks to excellent work by our library/media team, Mr. Faunce and Mrs. Faith, along with encouragement and support from the PTO, Stowe Elementary School's application to host a robot for Vermont's Robot Rodeo has been accepted! During the months of February and March, we will host a robot named "Sphero."  Our students will learn coding basics as they program Sphero to travel through mazes and perform other tasks. Young students may create storyboards for the robot, and older students will do the programming.  If you're interested in learning more about this project, visit the blogspot:  Vermont Robot Rodeo
  • Yearbooks:  The yearbook team is already working to create a treasure for every child.  More information about ads or ordering:  Yearbook
