It’s not easy to make a sixth-grader give up her lunch recess — but at St. Stanislaus Elementary School, they do it in the name of science.

In the name of Sisters in Science, to be exact, which gives girls an extra opportunity to engage with topics that span from tsunamis to jellyfish, from the human body to stars in the sky. Led by Sandi Blank, a former principal at Cotter Schools and a high school science teacher for 35 years prior, the girls are given a space to ask questions and learn from each other.
