Wausau School District
Kohl Foundation selects 4 from WSD
The selection committee for the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation Scholarship and Fellowship Program announced recipients of the 2013 Herb Kohl Foundation awards for teachers and students, and the list includes two teachers and two Wausau East senior students.
This year, the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation made $1,000 awards to 100 teachers, their schools and 187 graduating high school students in Wisconsin.
Carrie Clemment, an eighth-grade math teacher and Math Department chairwoman at John Muir Middle School, and Lynne Kohlhepp, a learning disabilities teacher at Wausau West High School, were 2013 Kohl Fellowship recipients. These teachers are chosen for their ability to inspire a love of learning in their students, their ability to motivate others, and for their leadership and service within and outside of the classroom.
Anna Bauman, a senior at Wausau East High School, is a 2013 Kohl Excellence Scholarship recipient. Excellence Scholarship recipients have demonstrated academic excellence and motivation to achieve, have displayed a range of activity and leadership outside the academic setting, and have shown promise for succeeding in college and beyond. Bauman received the Excellence Scholarship at a recognition luncheon April 13 hosted by U.S. Senator Herb Kohl in Green Bay.
Jim Xiong, a senior at Wausau East High School, is a 2013 Kohl Initiative Scholarship recipient, chosen by the school, because he shows initiative in the classroom and shows strong promise for succeeding in college and beyond but has not yet received other academic-based scholarships.
Additionally, the Wausau Board of Education presented these four individuals with the Board Resolution of Commendation for garnering state recognition that brought notoriety to themselves and to the Wausau School District.
