Trevor-Wilmot teacher to attend national historical conference

Trevor-Wilmot Consolidated School teacher Jason Reinholz is one of four teachers in the United States to receive The Civil War Trust scholarship.

The Civil War Trust works to preserve America’s highly important battlefield land, and educate the public about the significance of those battlefields in U.S. History, according to a release issued by Trevor-Wilmot’s Director of Curriculum and Instruction Tracy Donich.

Reinholz, who teaches 7th- and 8th-grade social studies, has an opportunity to attend a national conference in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

The scholarship is available to “current teachers who are enthusiastic about teaching about the Civil War in their classrooms.”

During the trip, Reinholz will have an opportunity to meet the three other teachers and network with site experts to learn more about battlefields.

The group will take part in walking tours of Gettysburg and listen to elite historians, while absorbing the sights, sounds, and emotions connected to various key battles.

Reinholz will bring that experience and new understandings of the Civil War back for the benefit of students at Trevor-Wilmot, Donich said.

The scholarship covers all fees related to the four day experience in early June.
