Leigh VandenAkker was recently chosen the Utah Teacher of the Year.  Last year she was chosen as one of the Utah PTA Golden Apple Award Winners.  We want to encourage every PTA to have a Golden Apple Award Program and to participate in the state awards program by sending your winners to the PTA Council and Region Levels.

Two types of Golden Apple Awards are given each year - Golden Apple Award for Outstanding Educator and Golden Apple for Outstanding Volunteer.

The Golden Apple Award for Outstanding Educators recognizes a professional educator currently working with students in grades preschool to 12th. Six winners will be selected based on their relationship with students, parents, PTA and the community.

The Golden Apple Award for Outstanding Volunteers is given to a volunteer who renders volunteer service to children through the education system. Nominees will be considered on the basis of quality as well as quantity of volunteer commitment.

Region 12, Nancy Cammans:

"When I served as President at our local level, the PTA purchased books from the Book Fair and stamped the inside "IN HONOR OF PTA VOLUNTEER HOURS" this book is donated to Castle Heights Elementary Library.

The Volunteers were invited to sign their names on the inside covers of the books at our Volunteer Appreciation. They seemed to enjoy this more than a personal gift".

Each year the Utah PTA gives the Early Bird Award to local PTAs who complete their registration on time.

Congratulations to our 2011-2012 Winners!!!
