Gurwicz Home Page

Our class is comprised of many interesting and unique individuals. During our time together, each person is engaged in many in depth areas of study. Our web site is intended to show our viewers some of our studies and areas of interest. It is also intended to inform parents and students about classroom and team happenings. The pages reflect the students' desire to share their learning and to help others learn.
We know that everyone has something to teach. We also realize that we are forever learning.
......As you browse our web site, we hope that you enjoy the music composed by two former students, Kevin and Emma. They named the piece, Mrs. Gurwicz's Class Symphony....Enjoy!
