🌟On January 16, students from our Middle School Innovation Academy wrapped up the semester by sharing their final projects with a panel of experts and community representatives. This fall, students took on the challenge, "How might we encourage more people to go fishing?" Students explored real-world issues such as PFAS in water, water contamination, and conservation, supported by two field trips to local waterways. Thank you to this semester's partner, Friends of the St. Clair River, and all the community members who supported our MSIA students. #ProjectBasedLearning #WeAreSCCRESA

This role has given me a broader perspective from the county level and new opportunities to support students and staff. Tell us a little bit about yourself: ​I have been happily married to my husband and best friend for the past 32 years. Our lives are always full of adventures and family time, and I am so grateful for the family and life we have created together. I have two beautiful, amazing children whom I am so very proud of, as well as a precious daughter-in-law and sweet future son-in-law. I have also been blessed with six amazing grandbabies—my little angels. If I’m not spending time with my husband, kids, and grandkids, you can usually find me at home cuddling with my puppies and cats. My family and fur babies are my heart, my soul, and my whole world! What do you like to do in your free time? I love adventures and spending time with my husband, as well as family dinners, family pool days, overnighters, and craft time with my grandbabies. I love game nights and bonfires with family and friends. I also love reading, crocheting, and anything Halloween-related. What’s a fun fact about yourself? In my senior year of High School, I competed for the title of fastest typist in the State of Michigan, and I won! What led you to this career? My children. When they started school, I didn't want to be away from them, so I began volunteering in their school. The next thing I knew, I was hired. Share the best piece of advice you’ve been given: My Grandfather always used to tell me, “This too shall pass, my dear.” It’s advice that has stayed with me.
