Thirteen staff members honored with Addison Trail’s Golden Apple
Each semester, Addison Trail students have the opportunity to recognize a teacher or a staff member for going above and beyond and making a difference in their life through the school’s Golden Apple program.
The Golden Apple award is given to teachers and staff members who have a positive impact on students inside the classroom and beyond.
