PAEMST is a celebration and acknowledgement of the work done by our entire school community. A main feature of my classroom work is ongoing collaboration with the other schools in our complex and organization and with STEM professionals in our military community. I believe in teaching science by bringing the classroom into the community and the community into the classroom. This award is the result of the work of our entire community in giving our students a variety of powerful STEM experiences.
