DENTON — Bill Finch, math teacher at Denton High, recently accepted the 2008 “Green Apple Award” by Michigan State University, Department of Engineering at the MSU graduation ceremony. He was nominated by his former student, Saurav Shrestha, a 2008 graduate of MSU.

This award is initiated by a graduating senior from MSU and is given to a kindergarten through 12th- grade teacher, who has been a major influence in encouraging the student and others toward degrees in engineering.

The letter from MSU to Mr. Finch stated: "The College of Engineering feels that the inspiration and passion of K-12 teachers such as yourself are critical to motivating the most talented to pursue engineering careers at a time when many are choosing other directions."
