This week’s Michigan Lottery Excellence in Education winner is Roger Rothe from Marshall Greene Middle School. Congratulations!
Q: It sounds like teaching isn’t just a job for you. It’s… it’s you.
A: You know, I’ve never thought of going to school as a job. You get to do something fun with them every day. I love it. I struggled in school as a kid when I started, and I had just phenomenal teachers that kept pushing me and wouldn’t let me slide when I wanted to just do the bare minimum. And that’s what made me want to be a teacher.
Roger from Marshall Greene Middle School receives a $2,000 check from Jake Harris with the Michigan Lottery. Excellence in Education Awards sponsored by the Michigan Lottery, providing more than $29 billion to public education since 1972.
