Golden Apple Awards
Sponsored by
Better Living Building Supply & Better Living Furniture

Richard L. Nunley, Chairman, is pleased to announce that Better Living  
Building Supply & Better Living Furniture is sponsoring the 8th Annual  
Golden Apple Awards for outstanding teachers from our school systems.   
These awards are presented to faculty members from the public and  
private schools in Albemarle County and Charlottesville City,  
including CATEC.  Eligible private schools are those that are members  
of the Virginia Association of Independent Schools (VAIS).

The Golden Apple Award is a means of selecting and honoring some of  
our outstanding teachers. Teachers are most important in nurturing our  
children’s inquisitive minds and preparing them for the challenges of  
the future.

Nominate a teacher and show your appreciation and support!

betterlivingvirginia.com or www.k12albemarle.org
