     Due to the approaching retirement of our beloved Mrs. Nancy Moskway-Vadersen, a new Senior Project Advisor had to be found. Applications were received and interviews completed. We thank all those that considered and applied for this very demanding and multidimensional job.

    At this time it is my pleasure to announce that Mrs. Allison Graves has accepted the position of MSA Project Advisor. As a member of the Ocean Lakes faculty, Mrs. Graves has served as an AP Language and Composition Teacher and more recently as our Gifted Resource Teacher. Her experience as an award-winning educator, grant writer, teacher leader, curriculum writer, and seasoned presenter equips her well for this dynamic position.

     Mrs. Graves will work closely with Mrs. Moskway-Vadersen to ensure a smooth transition. This will be of particular importance to our current juniors, who are about to embark on their own senior project journey. Current freshmen worked with Mrs. Graves this year through their English classes. As rising sophomores they will again work with Mrs. Graves in the new research course. We look forward to Mrs. Graves’ insights and contributions as we continue moving toward our program’s vision.

Please join me in welcoming Mrs. Allison Graves to the MSA staff !
