Sturgis teacher honored

Carol Brooks has been named the 2015 recipient of the John E. Oster Award.
Brooks, who was honored this week at a meeting of Sturgis Rotary Club at Sturges-Young Auditorium, has taught at Sturgis Public Schools since 1988, the past seven years as K-2 physical education teacher.
The John Oster Memorial Fund was established in 1981 by JoEllen Oster, John’s widow, to provide a permanent endowment to recognize teaching excellence in the Sturgis Public School system.
The 2015 Oster Award marks the 34th year for the honor.
