Magical Moment "SPOTLIGHT" - Ms. Zuluaga and Ms. Sawyer and the Guzick STEM Club
This week's Magical Moment Spotlight is on Ms. Zuluaga and Ms. Sawyer for providing our students with an opportunity to explore and experience the field of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. The STEM Club began last year, and this year with the support of the Junior League, a grant was awarded to Ms. Zuluaga and Ms. Sawyer to purchase resources to expand the learning experiences for these students even more. The students meet every Wednesday after school and the pictures below are just a glimpse of what they have been able to develop collaboratively with their club peers! What an outstanding opportunity for our Guzick Giant Students!
