ELKO - The Nevada Cattlemen's Association has started its eleventh annual quest for "Teacher Of The Year" candidates. We are asking for your help in soliciting nominations from school principals and fellow teachers. The deadline for submitting nominations is October 10, 2013.
Accepted nominations must meet the following criteria: any kindergarten through 8th grade teacher, submission of NCA Teacher of the Year Application Form, and an attached outline of the nominee's curriculum that has integrated a unit about agriculture. Nominations will be accepted from any member of Nevada Cattlemen's Association, Nevada CattleWomen's Association, Nevada WoolGrowers Association, and Nevada Farm Bureau Federation, a presently employed Nevada teacher, or the Principal of the school which employs the nominee.
For example, a teacher who teaches a one week segment on agriculture and its importance to Nevada.
The winner of this award will receive a $1,000 stipend to use on school supplies, donated by Nevada Agriculture Foundation. The award recipient will also be recognized during the Nevada Cattlemen's Association's annual Awards Banquet on November 16th in Sparks, Nevada.
The heritage of Nevada is ranching. Nevada Cattlemen's Association believes the future of our industry lies in the education of the generations to come, as we explore new and innovative methods of sustainability. Please help us in our efforts to support our teachers and their vital efforts in educating our youth.
Please encourage all principals and teachers to re-submit nominations from past years.
