I go places and people are congratulating me left and right. Old teachers, other people I know in the community. It is amazing how many people watched the game.

He knew it was a team as much as anybody else did. He's quick to say how well anybody else is doing.

I'm always astounded by what he can do. He has complete body control when he's in the air.

It means a lot. The Golden Apple shows our community what teachers are doing. It shows that great things are happening in Lee County.

We're going to be working with a community committee, a committee of people from the school district, teachers, support staff, all of them will collaborate to look through the applications, then we will umm whittle it down to a group of 6 we hope sometime toward the end of September.

What makes this show so good for the theater and the community is that it builds a diverse audience.
