Book & Build

Each month, the STEAM and Family Engagement departments host a virtual Book & Build Night for families. These one-hour events bring literacy and STEAM learning together as we read a featured story and guide families through a hands-on building challenge that connects to the book. Take a look at our upcoming and past experiences.

Share With Families:

ParentSquare notifications will include sign-up information so families can participate from home.

Use for SHINE Time:

All materials, challenge cards, and a digital link to the story are provided to students ahead of time. You are welcome to guide your class through an old activity during the school day.

Access Past Events:

This page includes printable resources and recordings of previous Book & Builds, so you can revisit activities or share them with students who may have missed the live session.
