Once again this year, Utah Education Association members are invited to nominate their favorite school volunteers for a “Golden Apple Award.” The awards are sponsored by the UEA, KUED-Channel 7 (PBS), and the Utah PTA. The deadline for nominations is February 25, 2005 .

In 1997, the UEA joined with the Utah PTA and KUED in nominating and honoring outstanding public education volunteers. These award recipients are recognized during KUED's annual “Golden Apple Awards” broadcast. Six educators and two volunteers will be chosen during the 2005 judging. As in the past, the Utah PTA will accept nominations for outstanding educators. Both the UEA and the Utah PTA will collect nominations for outstanding volunteers through February 25, 2005 .
