Excellence in Education: Kelly Seidl from the Blissfield Elementary School

This week’s Michigan Lottery Excellence in Education winner is Kelly Seidl from the Blissfield Elementary School. Congratulations.

Q: What inspires you to get up every day and go back into the classroom?

A: I think just knowing that you’re making a difference in the life of the kids. Teaching second grade, there’s a lot of like reading and writing involved. When the child has an ah-ha moment that they can finally read, I can do it, Mrs. Seidel! That is so inspiring.

Kelly from Blissfield Elementary School receives a $2,000 check from the lottery Commissioner, Suzanna Shkreli. Excellence in Education Awards, sponsored by the Michigan Lottery, providing more than $28 billion to public education since 1972.
