Tandem Teacher Receives 2020 Golden Apple Award

Tandem is proud to announce that Middle School PE teacher and volleyball coach Avis Fields has been named a 2020 recipient of a Golden Apple Award for excellence in teaching. Avis has been at Tandem for four years and brings enthusiasm, compassion and excellence to her work teaching Middle Schoolers and coaching volleyball players of all ages. The student who nominated her said that: "Avis is a great teacher because she really pushes me out of my comfort zone to do better. She is always looking out for me to make sure I'm doing the best I can and she helps me both academically and socially."

Golden Apple Awards are presented each year by sponsor Richard L. Nunley (Better Living Building Supply and Cabinetry) to honor outstanding teachers in our community's schools. The awards are presented to teachers from both public and private schools (VAIS members) in Albemarle County and the city of Charlottesville. One winner is selected from each school, based upon nominations. In addition to receiving a Golden Apple, each recipient also earns a grant of $500, which can be used for classroom materials or to support professional development. Golden Apple Award recipients will be honored in an online ceremony on May 21. Congratulations, Avis!
