Public Radio St. Paul, Minn. — Two teachers from Minnesota are
taking part in a White House ceremony Wednesday, where President
Obama is recognizing them for their work teaching math and
science. A total of 87 teachers from around the country are
being honored at the ceremony. They are this year's winners of a
presidential award that honors their work in math and science.
Dombrovski is a second grade teacher at Talahi Elementary in St.
Cloud. Stoflet teaches sixth grade at Gatewood Elementary, in
the Hopkins school district. Stoflet is also a former Minnesota

the highest recognition in the country for math and science
teachers in elementary and secondary schools.
