Earlier this month, I shared the privilege of awarding a state tribute to H.H. Dow High School’s Bridgit Sova. Through 30 years of special education work with Midland Public Schools, she’s lifted up peers, parents and students with innovations and insights, leading to her Regional Teacher of the Year honor and Michigan Teacher Leadership Advisory Council selection. Congratulations, Bridgit, you’re a point of pride for our region!
