23rd Annual Golden Apple Celebration of Teachers Dinner
The 23rd Annual Golden Apple Celebration of Teachers Dinner was held on Friday, May 10 at The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club to honor our outstanding teachers and the impact they have on student learning each and every day!
The recognition event has taken a variety of forms, from dinners, live television programs, and documentary style video pieces. While the format has changed and will continue to change, the purpose of the event is always the same—our community’s sincerest expression of the collective value we place on teachers, and the difference they make in our students’ lives.
This year, the 23rd Annual Golden Apple Celebration was a special dinner, to honor our teachers and celebrate the support that our community provides to educators through the work of Champions For Learning.
