Each student will receive a free snack and get a chance to eat in the cafeteria to get familiar with the space. A parent or guardian must be present with the student. This event is for the kindergarten student and parent only.
The Anchor Bay Science Special has been recognized with a 2025 Education Excellence Award, a prestigious honor given to only 10 programs statewide by the SET SEG Foundation in partnership with the Michigan Association of School Boards.
