Ball-Chatham Community Unit School District 5 issued the following announcement on Jan. 22.
The Ball-Chatham School District is excited to pilot a free, 12-week STEM enrichment program for our third and fourth grade students at BES, CES, and GES.

The program will be held from 10:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., once a week (CES on Tuesdays, GES on Wednesdays, and BES on Thursdays) beginning February 9 at designated locations within each school. Enrollment is limited to only 24 students per school (chosen through a random draw). Please note that preference will be given to 4th grade students.
