TDS Telecom to award ‘Most Valuable Educator’ with Green Bay Packers prize package

TDS Telecommunications LLC (TDS®) is proud to again honor an outstanding Wisconsin educator and is calling for nominations for this year’s TDS Wisconsin Most Valuable Educator Award.

The Most Valuable Educator award honors a person working in Wisconsin schools who is making a difference in the lives of students and their community. The winner will receive a Green Bay Packers prize package that includes two tickets to a 2024 game as well as the opportunity to take a group of students to Lambeau Field for a tour and meeting with a Packers alum.

Last year’s inaugural winner was school counselor Kristi Kjelstad of Chippewa Falls, who brought a group of fifth-grade students for a special tour of the stadium during Teacher Appreciation Week.

“Educators work tirelessly to help our students and we can never thank them enough. We’re excited to call for Most Valuable Educator Award nominations and continue working to support schools throughout our service areas,” said Dawn Nowakowski, TDS Manager of Regional Field Marketing.

Nominees must reside in a TDS community in Wisconsin. A full list of the more than 150 Wisconsin communities TDS serves can be found at tdstelecom.com/local/wisconsin.html.
