Children enrolled at Catholic Charities, Diocese of Metuchen’s YES Early Learning Center recently participated in an innovative, interactive Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) activity, sponsored by the Franklin Institute. By using a favorite fairy tale, The Three Little Pigs as a spring board, the children were challenged to consider the story from a new point of view and predict which building materials are the strongest. To test their predictions, the children worked together to build structures and test them with the “Mighty Wolf 3000” leaf blower!
Catholic Charities Program Clinical Supervisor Odali Melendez accompanied by Housing Specialist Lisa Novalany recently presented keys to the first family to benefit from the newly launched Keeping Families Together Program (KFT) at Catholic Charities, Diocese of Metuchen.
