KOLNKGIN Golden Apple
Golden Apple Award


Everyone remembers a special teacher...one that helped you through a difficult time, maybe helped you get interested in a subject that would later become a passion, or helped guide you as you made decisions about college and your future.

All this week, KOLN/KGIN TV will honor five outstanding teachers from schools in our viewing area with the 10/11 Golden Apple Awards. Elementary and High School students were asked to submit nomination letters about a teacher that inspired them. A committee reviewed the letters and determined the 5 teachers to honor with news stories recognizing their contributions to education and their students.

Watch 10/11 News at Six and 10/11 News This Morning this week as a different teacher each day is awarded the 10/11 Golden Apple Award sponsored by Nebraska Wesleyan University. All 5 stories will also be posted here at KOLNKGIN.com after they air.
