During the fall semester break this year, we hosted a very successful and fun Make Midterm Matter event at St. Paul’s Junior High! 🧪🤎

Thank you so much to all of the wonderful volunteers who signed up to participate in our STEM day on Tuesday and to St. Paul’s Junior High for having us! We were able to connect and interact with all classes of Grade 7, 8, & 9 students with many different hands-on STEM activity booths!

Make Midterm Matter is a one-day event that provides Memorial students with the opportunity to connect with their community, each other and local organizations through volunteerism. This year they are celebrating their 20th year! 🎉 We want to thank Becky, the entire team at the Student Experience Office and everyone involved for making these events happen! We love being involved 💙
