Sen. Pete Brunstetter Visits Wiley Middle School


On Friday, state Sen. Pete Brunsetter visited Wiley Middle School.

“We were very pleased with this visit,” said Andy Kraft, the school system’s k-12 program manager for social studies. “Senator Brunsetter toured the school and saw the tremendous benefits of the addition of the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) program. He commented on the importance of STEAM education in preparing students for the 21st-century global marketplace. 

“In addition, Sen. Brunsetter spoke to all of the eighth-grade students about how the legislative process works in the General assembly. This visit was part of the America’s Legislators Back to School program and was designed to expose students to the work of legislators and allow legislators to better understand the challenges facing schools.  We are very grateful to (Principal) Sean Gaillard and his staff for hosting this visit.”
