North Bend STEM Academy welcomed several local families to its Summer STEM Carnival for an evening of hands-on activities, family fun and an introduction to the new tuition-free K–5 public charter school opening this fall.

Families had the opportunity to explore the school community, learn more about North Bend STEM Academy’s academic program and meet newly appointed Principal David Jones. Guests also connected with school board member and longtime Cincinnati civic leader Charles Winburn, who joined the event in support of the school’s launch and its commitment to serving families in the College Hill, Mt. Airy and surrounding communities.
