Manchester Regional Education Association
Passaic County educator Alyssa Bitar along with Gemmerton Reyes from Manchester Regional High School District were awarded an $8,090 grant entitled Full STEAM Ahead into the Future: Building Together. Thisis a family-centered STEAM enrichment initiative. Evening STEAM events serve more than 200 students and families from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds. Students in grades K-8 participate in hands-on science, technology, engineering, art, and math challenges alongside their families, while high school students serve as mentors and facilitators. The program promotes creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, and inclusivity, removes financial barriers to enrichment, and strengthens school-family connections while building leadership skills among older students.
