This week’s Michigan Lottery Excellence in Education winner is Dee Smith from the Ashley Community Schools. Congratulations.
Q: You’re involved in sports, you DJ, you help with the scoreboard, you do science projects. Why do you do so much extra?
A: The kids are important to me and they need to know that they’re important to me. And as important as subject material is, it’s equally important to let them know their interests matter.
