School Update: Laureate Park Elementary School

November 13, 2018 by Karen Lee

In September, Laureate Park Elementary Longhorns opened their pantries to help fill the Lake Nona High School Safe Pantry. Laureate Park sponsored a Navy & Silver Spirit Day and invited all students and staff to bring items that could be used by the LNHS Safe Pantry. Our school filled a pallet of items, which were brought to LNHS.

In early October, Laureate Park Longhorns participated in the Boosterthon Fun Run sponsored by the PTA. The goal of the Fun Run was to raise money for new technology in the school.  Most students ran between 30-35 laps, and everyone had a great time raising money for our school.

Laureate Park hosted its first Einstein Hour, which is a school-wide STEAM initiative. The students loved doing STEAM projects such as apple volcanoes and apple engineering in kindergarten and the states of matter making ice cream in third grade. Students in fourth grade conducted a leaf investigation, and first and second grades created fall projects. A special thank you to all the parents who volunteered to assist in the classrooms.

Speaking of STEM, LPE’s second-graders enjoyed their first of many STEM activities for the year. The students observed materials, planned a design, and created apple catchers. The students worked cooperatively as they made their catchers. Lots of scientific terms were heard throughout the classrooms. The students enjoyed hypothesizing and testing out their many hypotheses! All of the apple catchers were a success! Congratulations to our Longhorn second grade scientists.
