Students from Gill Hall Elementary were recognized for their outstanding achievements at the January 26, 2016 board meeting. Each student was presented with a certificate of academic achievement in the areas of community service, reading, spelling, geography, math and technology. Thirdgrade teacher Mr. Stephen Lauso provided a presentation on how we are utilizing technology in our classrooms with the use of a 3D printer. Mr. Lauso also spoke about how the 3D printer has become an integral part of his classroom reinforcing the concepts of measurement, design and basic engineering principles. Third-grade student Campbell Thomas proudly displayed a quadcopter he and his classmates created using the 3D printer and thanked the board for investing in technology for our students at Gill Hall. As a special tribute, members of the Gill Hall chorus presented each board member with a gift, and sang a heartfelt song to them as a thank you for all they do for our schools. It was a great evening for Gill Hall Elementary and WJHSD!
