Melissa Turner has been an All-Star Save the Bay educator for over a decade. Melissa is always looking for ways to have her students participate in Save the Bay education programs, especially when we had to pivot to virtual learning. Melissa engaged her students in watching all of the Breakfast By The Bay episodes created by Save the Bay during quarantine. After each virtual program, she would have students do an activity based on the lesson and then send their work in to Save the Bay. Melissa always makes time to participate in Save the Bay feedback groups, and even participated in the Save the Bay strategic planning process. Her commitment to environmental education and engagement with Save The Bay’s curriculum more than earns her the title of “Save the Bay's Teacher of the Year.”
