Girls in STEM students present projects at Mokena SD 159 board meeting
Summary
Junior high students in the Girls in STEM program — introduced by Dr. Kristin Johnson and teacher Megan Horsch — showcased recent class work to the board.
During the opening portion of the Dec. 17 meeting, Dr. Kristin Johnson introduced STEM teacher Megan Horsch and junior high students participating in the Girls in STEM program. Students named in the minutes include Baily Morgan, Katelyn Sullivan, Emily Shiple, Rand Altarawneh, Chloe Walker and Gianna Betourney, who were invited to showcase projects they completed in class.
The student spotlight is a recurring agenda item intended to highlight curricular work and student achievements. Board members acknowledged the presentation and the meeting proceeded to other agenda business, including the Truth in Taxation hearing and routine approvals.
Why it matters: spotlight items provide public visibility for classroom programs and allow board members and the community to see student learning in action.
