Call for Thin Cardboard for STEAM Team

The 4th and 5th graders in the STEAM Team are learning about different kinds of mechanical joints, and they could use a lot of thin cardboard—like cereal boxes, paper towel tubes, oatmeal containers, etc.—to support their project-based learning. If you have some thin cardboard to donate, please bring it to the Kids’ Room at Cruces Creatives, and it’ll be put to very good use!Call for Artists for the 2020 Las Cruces Space Festi
