Wentzville
Crossroads Elementary School Teacher Nikki Oberg was honored Thursday as the “Teacher of the Year” by the Lake Saint Louis Wal-Mart.
John Swor and Carol Strain presented Mrs. Oberg and her school with an oversized check for $1,000.
“It was a huge surprise, I had no idea until they appeared at my classroom door,” said Mrs. Oberg. “It’s a real honor because we have a lot of great teachers, and I can’t wait to tell my husband!”
Mrs. Oberg plans to spend the money on resource and activity books for her classroom. She was nominated by her students for her outstanding work as a 4th grade teacher at Crossroad Elementary, where she has taught for four years.
In addition to the $1,000 check for the school, Mrs. Oberg also received a $100 gift card.
