Congratulations to our very own, Liz Thomson, for being featured for her role in the Michigan Sea Grant Great Lakes Literacy Mentor Program. Ms. Thomson serves as our middle school science educator where her passion for water studies is evident with the hands-on and feet-wet projects she engages our students in. Middle school students explore water quality, track invasive species, study marine debris, engineer underwater ROVs, and more. Through the program Ms. Thomson is being mentored by a veteran educator at Thunder Bay Junior High School, who also happens to be her father. Through their mentor-mentee team it offers Ms. Thompson a great framework for enhancing our science program. Congratulations, Ms. Thomson!
