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 7th 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

children's inquisitive minds and preparing them for the challenges of
the future. 

Nominate a teacher and show your appreciation and support!
