LANSING, Mich. — Leeann McMichael is being recognized for her Excellence in Education.
Sandy Brooks, Leeann’s nominator, says, “Since she started out right out of college at a rural Michigan school without an art program, she took that to a really great art program.”
"I have so many students that come into class and they're just like, “I'm just getting this because I need the credit,” says Leeann, “And by the end, usually they're like, “What other class can I take? Can I take more art classes?” It's cool to see students start off with something and then realize like, “Wow, I'm actually kind of OK at this.”
Leeann has received a $1,500 check from the Michigan Lottery, and her class at Onsted High School will receive a $500 grant.
