Students from STEMCivics Charter School began their 2022-23 school year on a mission to Panama.
Referenced continually by school founder and head Leigh Byron as “the best kids ever”, students returned to Central America as part of a Global Brigades effort. This mission experience is the fourth this year, all at an elementary school in El Limón, according to Byron. Sixteen PURPLEfect students from the Classes of ’23, ’24, and ’26 are tutoring youngsters in English and doing construction work.
