On Thursday, Jan. 25, K.B. Sutton hosted
its annual STEAM Night for students and
parents to come together to learn more about
the combination of Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. To begin
the evening, all of the attendees watched the
amazing magic tricks of Mr. Arthur Atsma.
The magician entertained students and
parents alike with his disappearing and
reappearing coins tricks and with the show-
stopper finale of making a bird appear from
nowhere. Afterward teachers provided vari-
ous STEAM activities for students to try,
such as making coding necklaces, building an
aluminum foil boat to hold a set amount of
coins, constructing a straw tower that would
hold a ping-pong ball and building an igloo
using marshmallows. Families enjoyed work-
ing together with these hands-on activities.
