Teacher Turns History Into Adventure

Teacher Turns History Into Adventure

Author: The Daily News Now! June 8, 2026 Duration: 1:33

Kristopher Schreiner, a Montana history teacher with 18 years of passion, just won the 2026 Centennial Bell Award — and for good reason. His classroom is a living history lab where students build log cabins, pan for gold, tan hides, and churn butter. The award, tied to Montana’s 1889 statehood, comes with $4,250 to fuel even more immersive learning. On Nov. 9 at 10:29 AM, he and his students will ring the Centennial Bell — the exact moment Montana became a state — proving that history doesn’t just live in textbooks, it’s lived, felt, and celebrated.
