Sherman Thomas STEM Academy

One of our favorite field trips of the year - the Madera Showcase - gave our students a hands-on look at local career paths in engineering, medical, and law enforcement! We're so fortunate to have such an incredible community willing to open their doors and share their knowledge with the next generation.

Our engineering group met with Madera City engineers, built water filters and bridges (some sturdier than others!), and got a behind-the-scenes look at how our city runs. Over at Camarena Health, students explored real medical facilities and even practiced dental cleanings and taking vitals. At the Madera Police Department, students toured everything from dispatch to patrol cars and learned what it really takes to serve and protect.

Huge thanks to our amazing hosts and to our chaperones and staff who made this trip unforgettable! The spark of curiosity (and future career dreams) was shining bright today - Go Ravens!

We would like to congratulate our STA Math Team on their first place finishes at this year's Madera County Math Tournament 🏆 It's no surprise that this amazing group of talented math whizzes brought home the win for both the 7th and 8th grade competitions, as well as several first place finishes in individual events and categories.

Way to go, Ravens! You amaze and inspire us each day, and we are so proud of your extraordinary achievements 🙌
