CRES is part of the WCS STEM Initiative. Our Learning Commons Area is part of that initiative and houses our Media Center and STEM Lab, both of which are available daily to students and teachers. The Learning Commons is more than a Library or a Lab; it is a space and a mindset. Students attend a class in the learning commons and explore various STEM activities, check out books, and learn all about technology. All of our students in kindergarten through fifth grade also take part in one full day of STEM challenges each quarter.
