UP school districts receive From Students to Stewards grants

MARQUETTE, MI--   Two U.P. school districts are getting money from an initiative that teaches students about Michigan watersheds and the impact people have on them. 

From Students to Stewards aims to give students access to place-based, water-focused education.

The Copper Country Intermediate School District is getting $10,000 to establish a water literacy consortium. The district will also organize a regional summit to identify best practices.

And Les Cheneaux Community Schools in Mackinac County is getting nearly $9,000 to connect with Lake Superior State University’s MIWaterNet water monitoring system. 

From Students to Stewards is a collaboration between the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy, the Michigan Department of Education and the MISTEM Network at Grand Valley State University.
