Wisconsin ag teacher wins national recognition

A Wisconsin teacher received the National Excellence in Teaching About Agriculture Award.

Jessica Rettler from Coloma teaches at Tri-County Elementary in Plainfield.  The National Agriculture in the Classroom Organization presented Rettler with the award this week at its conference in Florida.

Rettler is one of only seven teachers nationwide to receive the honor.
