TDS Telecom seeking Wisconsin Most Valuable Educator for Packers prize package

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

The Most Valuable Educator program 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 2025 game as well as the opportunity to take a group of students to Lambeau Field for a tour and meeting with a Packers alum.

This year marks the third edition of the Most Valuable Educator program. Previous winners included school counselor Kristi Kjelstad of Chippewa Falls and computer science, math, and robotics teacher Laura Masbruch of Whitewater.

“The Wisconsin Most Valuable Educator recognizes the incredible work being done in our schools every single day. As students embark on another school year, we’re looking forward to shining a spotlight on educators who make our communities a better place,” said Dawn Nowakowski, TDS Manager of Regional Field Marketing.

In addition to the winner receiving a Packers prize package, nominees are also recognized with certificates by local TDS associates.
