Professional Diver visits SGMS

Professional diver Mr. Dirk Burcham returned to SGMS to speak with the 6th grade magnet students about his job as an underwater researcher. Mr. Burcham has traveled around the world diving for specimens to help save our oceans from the environmental issues that face them today. He also spoke to the students about the equipment needed to complete his job and stay safe underwater. The students had an opportunity to view a movie of Dirk in action, explore his diving equipment, analyze seashells, and ask questions at the end of the presentation. It was a meaningful experience for our students!
