Reenactor, history teacher honored
Reenactor and middle school history teacher Kyle von Kamp was honored Tuesday by the Ohio Board of Education as the District 2 Teacher of the Year.
He received his award during a ceremony in Columbus, Ohio, largely for his hands-on method of teaching eight-graders about the American Revolution. Instead of solely teaching dates and history from a textbook, von Kamp brings history to life at the Willard Revolutionary War Encampment and Reenactment.
