This week’s Michigan Lottery Excellence in Education winner is Kathy Vogel from Northview Public Schools.
Vogelexpands the world for her students with extracurricular activities that teach them how to be compassionate leaders. With Vogel, every child has a talent and every child is important. You have something that you work on, a unified program. Talk about that a little bit.
“Yeah, so last year we were blessed to start a unified program,” Vogel said. “It’s a branch of Special Olympics, so we have students with and without disabilities working together, and really in hard times, when you see the joy it brings those students, it really keeps you going.”
Vogel from Northview Public Schools receives a $2,000 check from Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. Excellence in Education Awards, sponsored by the Michigan Lottery, have provided more than $29 billion to public education since 1972.
