Serena Middle School

Shoutout to all of the SMS band and chorus members for a wonderful Spring Band & Chorus Concert! Thank you Mr. Pierce & Ms. Thorsen for your dedication to the Serena music program!

Last Friday, Mrs. Goldman’s 6th grade Science classes visited the Herbert Trackman Planetarium. The Planetarium is a large dome with a state-of-the-art digital projection system that gives students the opportunity to participate in interactive sky tours - exploring constellations and planets. Students also visited JJC’s Laura A. Sprague Art Gallery and the Cronin Schoolhouse. The one room schoolhouse was built in 1863 - children in grades one through eight attended school at Cronin.

To the Moon and Beyond: 6th Grade Hosts NASA Engineer!

It isn’t every day that students have an opportunity to talk to someone who has a hand in making history, but this past Monday was truly out of this world!

SMS was honored to virtually welcome Mr. Joseph Pavicic, a Launch Integration Operations Project Engineer for NASA.

Mr. Pavicic brought the excitement of space exploration right into Mrs. Goldman’s classroom. The students learned about Mr. Pavicic’s career and his contributions to the Artemis II mission.

On launch day, Mr. Pavicic served as the CPROP Lead Console Engineer and System Specialist for the Cryogenic Propulsion Team. Prior to his role with Artemis II, Mr. Pavicic served as the Launch System Specialist Manager for the Main Propulsion System and Engines team for Artemis I and as a member of the official Launch Team that successfully sent the Orion spacecraft to the moon.

Mr. Pavicic also shared a powerful motivational message with the students. He spoke about the importance of perseverance, hard work and the courage to dream big.

We are so thankful to Mr. Pavicic for taking the time to inspire our students and show them that the sky is definitely not the limit!
