Shorewood Family Chiropractic To Sponsor SHS Science Club

Shorewood Family Chiropractic announced today that it will be the first business sponsor of Shorewood High School’s Science Club. The Science Club assists students with science fair projects and supports students in science competitions such as Lake Sturgeon Bowl, Science Olympiad, and the SMART team.

This year’s Science Club, which includes 25 students led by teacher coach Karen Gryzsbowski, had a strong finish at the Lake Sturgeon Bowl competition in February advancing to a single elimination where they lost a tough battle to the team that went on to win the competition. They competed in a Science Olympiad Madison Invitational in December and a Milwaukee Regional in February. They are now preparing for the state competition which will be held April 13, 2013.

Shorewood Family Chiropractic’s $300 donation will assist with transportation, food and lodging expenses for the teams. Owner Monica Maroney is excited to help encourage student interest in STEM careers and will speak to the Club about her own chiropractic career on Friday, February 22.

“As an alumni of Shorewood High School who started early on a science path, I’m particularly enthusiastic about helping students understand how worthwhile this kind of career can be,” she said.

Maroney notes that in a time when our country needs more scientists, engineers and healthcare professionals, it’s important that STEM-related business owners step up to share their own experiences and advice with students.
Shorewood Family Chiropractic is located at 4433 N. Oakland Avenue in Shorewood.
