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. Beyond the engineering challenge, they mastered teamwork and realized they have the skills to build amazing things. Great job!
