This week’s Michigan Lottery Excellence in Education winner is Mary Frey from Kettle Lake Elementary School.
“We nominated Mrs. Frey for this special award, because she’s so nice and she makes everybody feel welcome and she’s one of our favorite teachers ever, right guys?,” her nominators said. " Yeah, we love Mrs. Frey!”
One of the things that Frey has in the classroom is a dramatic play area.
“I feel like there’s so much social interaction that needs to happen for our little ones,” Frey said. “That’s just a place for them to play and grow and learn. We’re doing math, and we’re reading signs and we’re writing menus; they’re learning all of those different skills. But it’s a fun way to introduce those fundamental skills that children need to learn.”
Mary from Kettle Lake Elementary School receives a 2,000 dollar 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.
