Two Turlock educators who go above and beyond for their students were recently rewarded for their commitment to learning by being named finalists for the 2017 Stanislaus County Teachers of the Year program, which not only honors local teachers and celebrates excellence in education, but also provides an opportunity for teachers to receive state and national recognition. Turlock’s two finalists have a combined 34 years working within Turlock Unified School District. Laura Brem, a Social Science teacher at Pitman High School, has spent 14 years teaching AP U.S. Government and Politics and U.S. Government and Economics to seniors, while at Cunningham Elementary School, fourth grade GATE teacher Stacy Oldfield is in her 20th year of instructing.
