Come visit Vanguard Gifted Academy’s custom scarecrow creation at Geneva’s annual Scarecrow Weekend!

Our students are putting their creativity and engineering skills to work to design and build a scarecrow inspired directly by their first-quarter STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading/Research, Engineering, Art, and Math) afternoon curriculum. Stroll through downtown Geneva, see how our students brought their hands-on classroom learning to life, and cast your vote for our display during this beloved fall tradition!
