Mrs. Stryjek's 5th Grade Kid Wind Club went to Colonie Middle School Saturday to compete in the wind turbine competition. Three groups were in attendance: The Wind Games with Zaiden Salinas and Ravyn Lozo, The Wind Flower Power with Landon Rajter and Gabby Southworth, and Out of this Galaxy Turbine with Dominono DiGrazia and Addison Darling. At the competition they had to present their project in front of three experts, including teachers and engineers, followed by the actual running of their wind turbine in the tunnel two times to measure their Power Score. The Wind Flower Power group won an award for most creative wind turbine and they WOWed the judges with their idea of putting a Sunflower painted turbine in a sunflower field! The Out of this Galaxy Turbine had the most power of the three groups with 185.60396 milliwatts and scored the highest in their presentation to the judges! They took 4th place out of 7 Elementary teams from around the Capital Region. Great job to all teams and thank you parents for supporting STEAM in the schools!

🎖 NYS PTA Community Service Award: This award is given to a group of individuals in thankful recognition and gratitude for what they have achieved, giving their time, energy, and resources, on behalf of the children and youth in their school, community and/or state.

Originally planned as a fundraiser, the PTA made the heartfelt decision to cut costs and turn it into a fully inclusive community event. The result? An incredible day filled with laughter, learning, and lasting memories! 💙
