MARCH
We are thrilled to finally Spring into STEM! March is an extremely busy month as we begin the season of Lent on March 5th, our clocks spring ahead one hour on March 9th; we celebrate the math constant Pi on March 14th, recognize the Patron Saint of Engineers, St. Patrick on March 17th, recognize St. Joseph on March 19th, prepare for the Spring Equinox on March 20th, and finally we round out the month with The Annunciation of the Lord! We are bouncing with excitement and can't wait to get started. Have a blessed month! ​
“Some seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge: that is curiosity.
Others seek knowledge that they themselves be known: that is vanity.
But there are still others who seek knowledge in order to serve and edify others, and that is charity.”
--- St. Bernard of Clairvaux
