BrocktonPost
BROCKTON--Peter Czymbor, a 6th grade teacher at Ashfield Middle School in Brockton received a surprise visit from the Horace Mann Co., Wednesday to announce Czymbor is one of 50 educators across the U.S. to earn an Abraham Lincoln Fellowship.
The fellowship includes a nearly-all-expenses paid five day trip to Springfield, Ill., during the summer to learn about Abraham Lincoln.
Czymbor and 49 other teachers will "walk in Abraham Lincoln's footsteps," through various historical sites in Illinois, including the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site, Lincoln's home, Lincoln's tomb and the Old State Capitol State Historic Site.
School officials said Czymbor is a great teacher with a passion for history and is known in the community for his prowess as a juggler at a host of events.
