Education Spotlight — Flagstaff STEM City — Did you know? We have a program that connects local teachers and STEAM professionals to facilitate classroom projects. See more local, state and national education news here
Think back to a time in your childhood when you were inspired by a teacher or a mentor. Maybe you had a family friend with an engineering career that fascinated you, or your 3rd grade teacher led a memorable science experiment that you tell stories about still to this day.
Imagine if you could cultivate that same sense of awe and inspiration in a local classroom. What would you teach? What would you share? These formative years are a crucial time to encourage inventiveness, innovation, and curiosity in the youth of today and the future of tomorrow.
That is the premise behind Full STEAM Ahead: to bring local professionals into Flagstaff’s classrooms to share the world of STEM with our future innovators and inventors.

Education Spotlight — Page Unified School District Preschool Adds Elevate Pre-K. See more local, state and national education news here
Elevate Pre-K is designed, in part, to be a tool to help working families with young children return to the work force. One of the key components of the Elevate Pre-K program it that students are in school from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The program is also year-round. This differs from PUSD’s preschool, which runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Friday. PUSD’s preschool also closes during the summer months on the same schedule as the rest of the school district.
“This allows working parents with young children a chance to return to the work force, knowing that their child is in a safe, caring environment,” said Beth Giacalone, Program Director of Northern Arizona Programs.
