Over the past twelve years, Mrs. Hugick has been awarded fourteen grants to support original and innovative programs that enhanced the learning experience of her students. These range from Storm Drain Stenciling to Mesozoic Madness. Mrs. Hugick is most proud of two original instructional programs and the recent publication of professional articles she authored. This interdisciplinary solar research program in partnership with Project SUN, NASA's Mission To Earth program, and the International Science Network is determining the correlation between sunspots, weather variables, ultraviolet and visible light. Mrs. Hugick has incorporated this original program into her eighth grade classes.
