Attention Parents! Anna Drost, a senior at RHS, is working with Ms. Favazza at the middle school on creating an afterschool STEM Workshop Series for RMS students that will run this winter. We are collecting local career profiles to share with students and hope to include as much of the Rockport community as possible. If any part of your job requires STEM skills, such as tool or technology use, data collection or analysis, or problem-solving and innovation (to name a few!)... please consider completing this form. You never know who you might inspire! STEM Workshop Survey Link
