Not only staff were excited about the visit, but so were the students. Prior to Governor Reynolds arriving, students were busy getting their stations ready to show her all they knew about the many areas of STEM. "I remember teaching Governor Reynolds about debugging and how we have to try and figure out our mistakes. I do not think that she knew much about that," said Giancarlo, a 4th grader. The visit will be a lasting and impactful memory for many of the CAL students, including Sarai (4th grade) who said, "I was so nervous to talk to Governor Reynolds because our teachers said it was a 'big deal' that she was coming to our school, but she was really nice."
Govenor Reynolds was also impacted by the visit:
“I was very impressed by the dedication of the teachers and administrators to STEM based learning during my visit to CAL Elementary School,” said Gov. Reynolds. “I was inspired by the excitement and passion the students showed while demonstrating their incredible projects. My hope is that all students across the state have that same opportunity to unlock their potential through STEM-based learning.”
