EverGreen Elementary Students Attend the NEPA Girls STEM CompetitionMarch 31, 2026Congratulations to our 4th and 5th-grade girls from EverGreen for their hard work at Saturday’s NEPA Girls STEM Competition at Kalahari Resorts. These students did a phenomenal job representing the Western Wayne School District.While they didn’t take home a trophy, the experience was a true win. Given three hours and a set of complex instructions, the girls worked under pressure to build functional, beautifully decorated floats for the event parade.
