All of our JA of Lincoln classroom volunteers are wonderful, but some really go above and beyond. These are the people we can always turn to when we have a classroom needing a volunteer. These are the people who show up for our students, time and time again. And while we’re so grateful to all of our volunteers, we wanted to make sure these exceptional volunteers know just how much they’re appreciated. That’s why we created the Apple Society.

The Apple Society of JA of Lincoln’s way of recognizing those volunteers who give an extraordinary amount of time to our students. The Red Apple goes to volunteers who have taught more than 6 classrooms, the Silver Apple is for those who have taught more than 12, and the Golden Apple is for those amazing volunteers who have taught more than 20 classrooms. The different levels come with various gifts from us, and all come with our deepest gratitude.

This year we are excited to announce 11 Gold Apple recipients, 14 Silver, and 41 Red! Thank you and congratulations to all of this year’s inductees!
