✨ Meet Kymberli Wregglesworth, our Fellow of the Week ✨ 
.@MrsWreggs, one of our 2022 #Auschwitz Legacy Fellows, is a high school teacher from Michigan. She is a veteran social studies teacher with over 23 years of experience teaching world history, civics, and other social studies electives.
Kymberli’s entire teaching career has been spent at Onaway Secondary School in #Onaway, located on the northeast tip of Michigan’s lower peninsula.
She chose to apply for the Auschwitz Legacy Fellowship because she wants to improve her ability to teach about the #Holocaust for the sake of her students and the world they will inhabit as adults in only a few years.
“I believe very strongly in place-based education," she said, "but taking my entire class to Auschwitz would be impossible. Therefore, I have to travel for them and hope that my experiences will translate and help them understand the horror of the Holocaust on a deep level.”
The 2011 recipient of the James Madison Fellowship, Kymberli was also recognized by the Michigan Department of Education as the Region 2 Teacher of the Year for 2019.
She has traveled extensively—including India, England, Finland, Germany, and across the US—as part of various fellowship programs. She was appointed to two statewide panels by @GovWhitmer dealing with the reopening of schools following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Throughout her career, Kymberli has been active in union leadership, serving for 10 years as President of the Onaway Federation of Teachers. She is currently the President-Elect of the Michigan Council for Social Studies.
Kymberli learned about the Auschwitz Legacy Fellowship thanks to @ABMFusa's partnership with the Zekelman Holocaust Center (@HolocaustMI). She has served on their Teacher Advisory Group for 2 years, and is also a member of the Teach Plus Michigan Teacher Leadership Collaborative.
