Through our Getting Science Fair Ready Programming, we support exceptional teachers like Kris Grymonpre, honored as this year’s Middle School Teacher Award winner. At BCLA-McCormack 7-12 School in Dorchester, Kris inspires a diverse group of students participating in MSEF’s science fair program.
MSEF facilitated connections with Thermo Fisher Scientific employees this year, providing Kris’s students invaluable encouragement and resources. We visited Kris’s classroom and witnessed firsthand his adept navigation of students' needs, fostering curiosity and boosting confidence where needed. His approach underscores the impactful work of outstanding educators.
One of Kris’s students received the G.R.I.T. Award at this year’s State Middle School Fair, recognizing their Guts, Resilience, Initiative, and Tenacity. Kris shared how this achievement energized the entire school community. Many students, unfamiliar with being acknowledged for their achievements, were inspired to believe in their potential for success in STEM and to understand that science is accessible to them.
Kris's story exemplifies MSEF’s broader impact. Equipping educators with frameworks, resources, and connections, MSEF empowers them to offer students authentic STEM experiences, igniting their passion and supporting their academic growth.
