    PLAINSBORO, NJ, December 04, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Marquis Who's Who, the world's premier publisher of biographical profiles, is proud to present Jane E. Grigger with the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award. An accomplished listee, Ms. Grigger celebrates many years' experience in her professional network, and has been noted for achievements, leadership qualities, and the credentials and successes she has accrued in her field. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Ms. Grigger is a middle school earth science and physical science teacher at Princeton Day School who has been teaching at the school for the past 43 years. During her tenure, she has notably served as the head of the Gettysburg course for more than 20 years, served as a journal and sports photographer for students, and coached girls' softball. A huge influence on both students and faculty alike, she formerly taught secondary science at Princeton Regional Schools in New Jersey from 1972 to 1975 and at Bensalem Township School District in Cornwells Heights, PA, from 1970 to 1972. She is a certified science teacher in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

While teaching, Ms. Grigger has been active as a teacher with the Partners in Education geology program at Princeton University. She is a longtime member of the New Jersey Science Teachers Association, the New Jersey Earth Sciences Teachers Association, the National Association of Geoscience Teachers and the National Science Teachers Association, among other relevant professional organizations.

Ms. Grigger co-authored "Make the Rafters Ring: Remembering Camp Hagen" in 2015 through Brown Acorn Press. The memoir speaks about the four authors' experiences at Camp Hagen some 50 years ago and includes 10 topical essays capturing the essence of these adventures. Subjects include the physical features of the campus, daily activities, cabin ambiance, counselor life and special events, customs and pranks. Notably, Camp Hagan was a Lutheran summer camp for girls located on the banks of the Delaware River in the Poconos of northeastern Pennsylvania. The camp was established in 1937 and closed in 1970 when the U.S. Corps of Engineers condemned the property to proceed with the erection of the Tocks Island Dam.

The recipient of a 2014 Citizenship Award from Camp Hagen, Ms. Grigger has also been highlighted in approximately 40 editions of Who's Who in America, Who's Who in American Education, Who's Who in Science and Engineering, Who's Who in the East and Who's Who in the World. She has held a Bachelor of Science in geology from Bucknell University since 1969 and a Master of Education in earth science education from Temple University since 1971.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, Ms. Grigger is the daughter of John Casimer and Rozanne Marie Peters Grigger. In her down time, Ms. Grigger enjoys playing the flute and guitar. She also loves to sing, read, travel, collect postcards, rocks and minerals, and study the Civil War. Furthermore, she has been very active in her community for many years. A member of the Bucknell Alumni Club and the Temple Alumni Association, she has also been known for her dedication as a troop advisor for the Southeast Pennsylvania Council for the Girl Scouts of the USA since 1969. She formerly oversaw photography for two Girl Scout International Events during the 1970s as well. While a troop member, she earned the Curved Bar Rank, equivalent to today's Gold Award, the highest in Girl Scouting.
