STMS Robotics Club
Hello! My name is Cory Brügger, and I teach 6th grade ELA at Springfield Township Middle School. My whole life I have had a love of literature, theatre, and music, which I bring into my classroom with an interdisciplinary approach. I have Bachelor's degrees in English and Music from Susquehanna University and a Master's in Education from Arcadia University.Outside of teaching, I also run several clubs across the district: Robotics Club and Rock Band Ensemble here at our Middle School and GSA at the high school! I am also a proud member of the STMS faculty band Tears for Mr. Fears.Spartan Block allows me to bring my other passions into my classroom. I offer classes in music history (rock and roll and one on just The Beatles!), the history of video games, knitting, and the philosophy of Star Trek.My teaching philosophy focuses on helping my students to learn who they are and to love themselves. Sixth grade is all about learning to be part of a community! I love being a part of that journey for my students.
