This week’s Michigan Lottery Excellence in Education winner is Kimberly Stevenson.
In addition to teaching, Stevenson was the facilitator for the STEM Eco Justice Club. She was also the director of the Green Team and championed other causes such as sustainability.
“It was over the time when there were all those oil spills in the ocean, and what they found was that the wildlife in the environment was still suffering even with their solutions,” Stevenson said. “So we found a way to pour these pellets into the oil and it acted like a sponge, and it was so much safer for the environment to just lift it out, wrap it up, toss it. And that’s one of my favorite labs.”
Kimberly from Davis Aerospace Technical High School receives a $2,000 check from Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. Excellence in Education Awards sponsored by the Michigan Lottery, providing more than $29 billion o public education since 1972.
