Art From West Students Joins District's Collection ... Each year, the Wauwatosa School Board chooses a few pieces of student artwork to add to the district's art collection. The pieces, submitted by K-12 teachers, are chosen for their originality and quality. After hanging in the boardroom for a few years, these pieces will be returned to West where they will remain on display permanently.

Congratulations West teacher Andy Zietlow and East teacher Nicole Vitrano, as well as District Project Lead the Way (PLTW) staff members Bill Anderson and Jerry Merz, who wrote and will facilitate an Education Foundation of Wauwatosa (EFW) grant next year.
Apps for AP Psychology
Andy Zietlow and Nicole Vitrano: $2,828
These apps will allow all of our students to be actively engaged in the learning process. Many of the experiments we use in class involve a few students. The apps are interactive, so all students have the experience of being an active participant in class. Even the hesitant students can participate without feeling any embarrassment.
Portable Wind Tunnel, part of the Discovery Lab
William Anderson and Jerry Merz $5,000
The wind tunnel will be equipped with a laptop and have embedded electronic sensors to collect real-time data. This information would be collected by students and used for analysis for their model designs. |
