Central Elementary second graders, with the help of their parents, participated in a fun STEM project. They created elaborate and creative traps to try and catch those sneaky leprechauns. The traps were made of simple household materials and many incorporated a simple machine such as a lever or pulley.
The leprechauns outsmarted us again and not one was caught.
Happy St. Patrick's Day Raider Nation!
