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.”
