"I received a grant from the Community Foundation through its Duluth Public Schools Fund. Private gifts to this Fund support innovative educational projects for teachers. With the grant I was able to take my fourth-grade students on the L.L. Smith, Jr., a research vessel owned by the Lake Superior Research Institute at the University of Wisconsin - Superior. The boat became a floating classroom for us, and the field trip gave my students a renewed respect and concern for maintaining the well being of Lake Superior, a precious resource in our own backyard."
