Congratulations to Diane Crim!
Governor Gary R. Herbert, along with the Utah Science Technology and Research Initiative, announced that Diane Crim, a Bryant math teacher, is one of four winners of the 2019 Governor’s Medals for Science and Technology.
“I congratulate each of this year’s medal winners and I would like to thank them for their contribution to technology innovation in Utah,” said Gov. Herbert. “It is contributions like these that keep Utah at the forefront of technology innovation and ensure we have a diverse economy that can weather any economic storm.”
Diane Crim is being honored for her 30 years of teaching in multiple schools in the Salt Lake School District, and for her work at the Salt Lake Center for Science Education (SLCSE), with her current assignment at the Bryant campus, which serves a large minority and low-income student population.
She joined a team of educators in 2007 to create the SLCSE in Rose Park to provide a world class STEM education to a broad and diverse student population with a commitment to provide interdisciplinary curriculum and project-based learning. She has partnered with colleagues and university researchers, served as a math coach to other teachers and developed a project-based curriculum for high school statistics which has become the foundation for many data-driven projects at SLCSE.

Dear current and future Bryant and SLCSE Families,
We need your feedback! Currently under consideration is a proposal that would unite Bryant Middle School and the Salt Lake Center for Science Education (SLCSE) forming one STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) system where Bryant would be the middle school component and SLCSE would be the high school component. Students exiting Bryant after 8th grade would have the option of attending SLCSE for high school.
Please go to the link below for more information, and to provide any feedback or questions you may have concerning this proposal.
Thank you.

Bryant Middle School is committed to kindness. Thanks to schoolwide participation in a month-long Kindness Challenge, under the leadership of art teacher Emily Pierce, Bryant has earned a $500 grant from Donors Choose. Bryant was one of only 61 schools across 21 states to complete the fall challenge. In addition, a KIndness badge will appear next to Bryant’s name on the Greatschools website.
The Middle School Kindness Challenge gives students a chance to think about and practice kindness every day. Beginning October 24th, during a four-week cycle, teachers chose from a menu of activities or “pathways” found on www.kindness.com in order to focus on a different aspect of kindness each week. Students identified simple acts of kindness such as giving a hug, a compliment, a smile, or extending an invitation at lunch and were made aware of how these gestures can lift another person up.
The Kindness Challenge is sponsored by a nonprofit group, Stand for Children, whose mission is to ensure equality and continual improvement for all K-12 students. The next challenge starts in early February.
The month of kindness culminated in an activity in which students sprinkled cookies with kindness. Okay, they were sprinkled with sugar, but all agreed that kind acts are the real sweetness in our daily lives.

Serving on the School Community Council is a wonderful way for parents and teachers to contribute and help improve academic performance at our school. The school receives an annual dividend from the school trust lands. Our council decides how these funds will be used. This year our school received $37,631 from the School LAND Trust Program. The council reviews and prepares other academic plans for our students each year. All plans are reviewed for final approval by our school board. Councils also act in an advisory capacity to school and school district administrations.
