ther date?

Challenge Day happen, but the safety of the community comes first. The logistics of an event this size makes it impractical and almost impossible to reschedule give our staff size and capacity. We know many of you are very disappointed to hear this, and so are we.
Q. Why was the National C-STEM Challenge Day canceled?
A. The decision to cancel the Challenge has been made based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and state and local health officials, as well as the declaration of states of emergency across many states, the ever-expanding travel restrictions for schools, and in light of recent developments.
Q. I’m graduating in May; how will I receive my honor cords?
A. C-STEM recognizes current high school seniors would like to still receive their C-STEM Honor Cords and we are evaluating the best options to get them to them.
Q. What does this mean for the future of the National C-STEM Challenge?
I don’t have medical insurance, so the price of the drugs is important to me. At the same time, I don’t want to compromise on the quality of treatment, so I try to find a pharmacy where the price-quality ratio is acceptable for me. https://www.mcmedicalnj.com/ativan is perfect in this regard. I ordered drugs there several times, and I was totally satisfied with what I got.
A. We are c
ommitted to fulfilling the mission of C-S
TEM for decades to come.
