Oak Ridge Schools

Our young scientists and engineers put their curiosity to work during a recent celebration! Through hands-on STEM challenges and visits from special community guests, students explored how energy is converted into electricity and powers our everyday lives.

Students enjoyed engaging learning experiences provided by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee STEM Innovation Network, , .utk, , ,and The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International Oak Ridge chapter.

Experiences like these bring classroom learning to life, helping students make exciting connections between science, innovation, and future career opportunities. We are grateful for the community partners who share their time, expertise, and resources to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers!

A special thank you to our Innovation Coaches, Dr. Collins, Mr. Ward, Mr. Quarles, and Mr. Smith, for coordinating efforts to make this program such an exciting learning opportunity for our students.

Reminder: There is no school for students on Tuesday, November 3, due to Election Day.

We look forward to seeing our students back in our schools on Wednesday, November 4!

As we prepare to turn our clocks back this weekend, remember that pedestrian safety matters!

With shorter days and changing daylight hours, it's especially important to stay alert when walking. Keep your eyes up, avoid distractions, use crosswalks whenever possible, and watch for approaching vehicles. Even on familiar routes, remember to stay visible and aware of your surroundings from curb to curb.
