The new department chair is Nancy Pinnow, the current 8 th grade science teacher. Ms. Pinnow will not only become the department chair but she will also be moving to the upper school as a biology teacher. Best of luck to all in their new positions. Three teachers will be undergoing FAST inquiry-based science instruction over the summer. The introduction of the FAST program into the Middle School has been quite successful, and FAST will be introduced into the 8 th grade in 2001-02.
Teacher training insures the quality of the program.
