Thermo Fisher Scientific encourages its colleagues to participate in STEM education outreach in their local communities. Science classes at Holman Middle School had employees from the manufacturing plant in Berkeley visit and lead a STEM-based project with students on Nov. 17.
“It was really fun and I learned a bunch of new vocabulary words,” seventh grader Esmeralda Vargas said.
Holman Middle School art teacher Montie Richter was unanimously selected as a recipient of the Prang Art Teacher of the Year award. She was surprised with a special announcement during her second hour class on Oct. 3.
This national program recognizes 10 art teachers annually who have made significant contributions in the lives of their students by advancing art education and inspiring self-expression through art. More than 2,000 people across the country nominated art teachers deserving of this honor and winners were chosen by a selection committee. Richter had 43 unique nominations and will receive a customized plaque and $5,000 worth of Prang art supplies.

Sixth graders in Matt Loyet’s social studies class participated in a treasure hunt. Using specific coordinates and satellite mode on Apple Maps, the students went outside on Tuesday and looked for gold coins that Loyet had hidden around Holman Middle School.
The class learned about latitude and longitude during a geography unit and Loyet spent about three hours outside putting together the scavenger hunt for his students.
Loyet hid 10 gold coins for each class and shared the specific coordinates list with the students. Two of the hidden coins had an extra location taped to them leading them to a special prize.
“I found one of the bonus coins that had another location on it and then we typed those coordinates into our iPad,” Talia Masin said.
