STOUGHTON, WI, September 15, 2023 — Stoughton's VFW Post 328 has named Jennifer Kolberg, 8th Grade Social Studies teacher at River Bluff Middle School, Teacher of the Year. The award recognizes the top classroom teachers who teach citizenship education topics regularly and promote America's history and traditions effectively. Teachers who promote civic responsibility, flag etiquette, and patriotism are prime candidates for this award.

VFW Post 328 Commander Rob Drogsvold nominated Kolberg for the award because of her outstanding dedication and commitment to her students. “In the first weeks of summer, Jen takes her students on a trip to Washington D.C. to see the history in our Nation's capital and experience some of the most breathtaking monuments. That trip alone shows the students what our country has done in our history and our military's history,” stated Drogsvold. “Additionally, when asked, the students and teachers in the school district said that Jen stood out the most. Jen's name was said the most because of her outstanding contribution to the school district.”

“Jen was the first teacher I met when I came to River Bluff and I knew right away that she was not just an amazing educator, but a wonderful person,” said River Bluff Middle School Principal Nick Jones. “River Bluff is fortunate to have Jen in our ranks. She is dedicated to our students and community, and as a building leader a fierce advocate for those on her team. I can't think of anyone more deserving of this recognition.”
