Congratulations to Mary. She has spent a career as an outstanding science teacher. I first knew Mary as she taught in Huron and our paths continue to cross.
Currently Mary and I both work with Learning Power students who take Advanced Placement courses online. Mary is an e-mentor for students and helps them prepare for success in an online learning environment. Mary is an e-mentor along with her full time teaching responsibilities.
