Description: After growing up in remote Taylor, Nebraska (Population: 190) Megan Helberg left for college in the big city. Now she's back as a teacher with the goal of helping students appreciate the value of their community so they will return there, as she did. One way she does this is to invite students and their families to see the world with her. This story is part of the series “Weaving a Stronger Society - Starting in our Schools,” celebrating educators who use community to help students succeed in school and life. The series was produced by education news site The 74 Million in partnership with the Aspen Institute’s Weave: The Social Fabric Project.
