The Michigan Lottery has played a big role in funding education in our state, which is why it has teamed up with FOX 47 News to recognize excellent educators state-wide.

James Pecar, a Choir Director at Chippewa Valley High School, is this week's Michigan Lottery Excellence in Education award winner. His nominator says he discovered something about music at an early age that he passes along to his students.   

James was recognized with a $1,500 check from the Michigan Lottery and his class will receive a $500 grant!

The Excellence in Education award is sponsored by the Michigan Lottery, proud to provide more than $20 billion to support public education since 1972!
