Dear Parents and Guardians,
Has a teacher made a special difference in your child’s life? Perhaps they have gone above and beyond to encourage your child, build their confidence, inspire a love of learning, or help them overcome a challenge. ❤️📚
Now is a wonderful opportunity to recognize that special educator through the Arizona’s Family Silver Apple Award — A Teaching Award for Excellence!
🏆 What is the Silver Apple Award?
The Silver Apple Award recognizes outstanding teachers who make a meaningful difference in the lives of their students. Winning teachers will be featured on 3TV and receive a $1,000 prize!
🍎 How can you nominate a teacher?
Parents and legal guardians can nominate a deserving teacher by completing the Silver Apple Award nomination form.
Your nomination must include:
Teacher’s information: Name, school, grade and subject, and school district.
Your information: Parent or guardian’s name, contact information, and signature.
Student’s information: Name, school, grade, and contact information as requested on the form.
Your nomination story: In 100 words or less, tell us “Why This Teacher Is Special.” Share how this teacher has positively impacted your child and why they deserve to be recognized.
✍️ Important reminders:
The nomination must be signed by a parent or legal guardian.

Math met real life in our investing class during our Bank Simulation Activity! Our classroom became a working bank branch, and students took complete ownership—stepping into every role, managing money through real-world scenarios, and building crucial financial habits. It was hands-on learning, teamwork, and practical math at its finest! 📈🎉
Honorable Junior Judge Brendan Buesa presided with an iron gavel, while our tough-as-nails jury from Ash Fork USD weighed the evidence. In a devastating blow to distracted drivers everywhere, Senior Maddie Trice was found guilty of texting and driving and sentenced to three months of hard labor... err, community service. 📱🚫
A huge thank you to Judge Emery and the Seligman Justice Court staff for letting our students experience the legal system firsthand!
A heartfelt thank you to Ash Fork USD for joining us, and a huge shoutout to all the first responders who took time out of their busy schedules—even landing a helicopter on the soccer field!—to inspire our students. Your dedication and service show our kids firsthand what makes our community so strong. 🚁🚒
