Marlis grew up in the shadows of the campus of Michigan State University. Growing up in a college town is one of the many things she appreciates about her childhood. She developed a love for learning and reading early on and has sustained this through adulthood. Although teaching is a second career for her, this love has shaped how she goes about her job as a teacher for Harper Creek.
Congratulations to Ella Laupp on her winning essay!
