Students showcase ASB, robotics and art at John Gutierrez Middle School spotlight
Summary
Three John Gutierrez Middle School students presented ASB activities, robotics projects (including an adaptive switch repair), and an upcoming mural and events during the Santa Rita USD board spotlight segment.
Three students from John Gutierrez Middle School addressed the Santa Rita Union Elementary School District board to highlight student government, arts and robotics programs.
Principal Tina Ramos introduced the students and the programs they represent. ASB student Alondra described "Wow Week" spirit activities and introduced ASB officers and their adviser; ASB activities aim to welcome sixth‑grade students and build school culture. Robotics student Isaac Ortiz explained a recent cyborg challenge and described an adaptive switch that he and a teammate repaired, saving the district about $300 in replacement costs. Art student Sammy Berlanga described an advanced art mixed‑media class working on an exterior mural designed by an eighth grader.
Board members praised the presentations, noting student confidence and engagement. Trustees encouraged community members to attend upcoming events including the winter concert on Dec. 16 and other school activities.
The spotlight illustrated extra‑curricular learning opportunities across STEM, arts and leadership at JGMS and how hands‑on projects feed into practical skills and cost savings for the district.
