Thanks Joe! How can I get a registration form?
ReplyDeleteI understand that STEM is a wonderful program. My nephews wanted to attend but their mother was told it was only for Wicomico County students. They live in Wicomico and pay taxes, but attend private school in Salisbury. This is unfair and just plain wrong! So you have to pay for Wicomico county schools, but you can't take advantage of any of the benefits you pay for?!
