Sixth graders in Lauren Niewald’s class at Remington Traditional were challenged to build a zipline that provided tourists the longest tour over the mountains with only the materials provided. Each group was provided rubber bands, paperclips, straws, string, bucket, scissors and tape.

Using STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) skills, students incorporated the same process that engineers use on a job site: define the problem, brainstorm solutions, design a solution, build it, test it, evaluate it and then revise.

As principal at Briar Crest Elementary School from 2001 to 2007, Tim Pecoraro awarded staff members like Jill Ramig with coupons they could redeem for 30 minutes of classroom coverage by him. 

He thought all of the coupons had been used, but the current Remington Traditional School library technology specialist, who was a reading specialist at Briar Crest, still had hers, and wanted to make sure she redeemed it before Pecoraro retires at the end of the school year.

She surprised him with the coupon – which did not have an expiration date – last week.

On May 18, Pecoraro read to kindergarteners at Remington Traditional who are taught by another former Briar Crest teacher, Jill Kruse.
