Each year, with the help of Armstrong, United Way of Butler County recognizes active public school educators who exemplify leadership and outstanding dedication to students and the wider community through the Red Apple Awards. This year, with the help of area businesses, we are able to enhance the program by presenting each winner, not only with their beautiful crystal apple award, but also with a gift of $500 designated towards educational purposes or needs in the building or department that they represent.
