A Walnut Springs Middle School student teaches Mark Twain Elementary fifth graders.
Students in advanced seventh grade science classes from each of the four Westerville middle schools engaged fifth graders at Mark Twain, Whittier, Cherrington, Wilder, McVay, Robert Frost, Alcott, and Fouse elementary schools this year in Energy Activity Stations and Energy Fairs. In addition to helping the youngsters become more comfortable with their transition into middle school through interactions with the seventh graders, the elementary pupils learned about energy types, resources, transfer, conservation, and usage. Funded by the Ohio Energy Project, the program was facilitated by teachers William Wetta, Patrick Schubert, Julie McSwords, Nyesha Clayton, and Amber Harper through the Gifted Education and Science Departments.
