TWO MINNESOTA TEACHERS AMONGST THOSE HONORED BY PRESIDENT OBAMA

More than 100 science, math and engineering teachers and mentors were named Wednesday by President Obama as recipients of a prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence. Of the two from Minnesota Kari Dombrovski of Talahi Community School received for her excellence in teaching science. She will actually receive her award in the Fall at a White House ceremony.

This is an annual award where recipients are selected by a panel of distinguished scientists, mathematicians, and educators. The winners receive $10,000 awards from the National Science Foundation to be used at their discretion.
