The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools hit the road on Friday March 12th, and surprised the six recipients with the prestigious Golden Apple Teacher Award.
Golden Apple sponsors, selection committee, and Foundation Board members took part in shining the spotlight on the outstanding performance these profound teachers do for the education system and their students.
“Once again, the six recipients of the prestigious Golden Apple Award are representatives of all the outstanding educators we have in the School District of Lee County. I can think of no more important profession than teaching. The impact of the teaching profession is felt throughout the entire community and deserves to be applauded,” said Marshall T. Bower, Esq., President and CEO of The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools.

The Golden Apple Recipients are chosen after going through an extensive selection process which began in September with a community-wide invitation to nominate teachers from The School District of Lee County.
The six finalists were selected after completing a three-step process, which included a blind comprehensive application, observations in their classroom of their teaching style and skill, and personal interviews with the Golden Apple Selection Committee. Golden Apple Teacher Recognition Program™ was the first major project funded and developed by The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools, Inc.
Recipients of the Golden Apple Teacher Award will be honored at a black-tie affair held at Caloosa Sound Convention Center & Amphitheater on Friday, June 18th, at 5:30 p.m.
