Annual Reports

Lake Superior Stewardship Initiative Report (LSSI)
2008-2009 School Year

The major goal of the Lake Superior Stewardship Initiative (LSSI) is to prepare K-12 students to become knowledgeable citizens, concerned about the Great Lakes and actively engaged in stewardship activities that will contribute to the recovery, restoration, and future protection of the Great Lakes and their watersheds. The initiative provides sustained professional development for teachers, makes grants to schools to plan and conduct stewardship projects that meet a community need, and facilitate school-community collaborations and public forums.

Fourteen schools in seven school districts in Houghton and Baraga Counties participated in the Lake Superior Stewardship Initiative during the 2008-09 school year. These schools formed school-community partnerships and planned projects that were funded by grants approved by the LSSI Advisory Board. The funds come from the LSSI grant received from the Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative and the Wege Foundation. A description of project outcomes, impacts on schools and communities, and implementation challenges, as submitted by each school team, is described in our report.
