UPPER VALLEY JVS TEACHER SELECTED FOR NATIONAL AWARD
Upper Valley JVS satellite Agricultural Education instructor and FFA Advisor at Fort Loramie High School, Sarah Heilers, has been selected for a Teachers Turn the Key Award from the National Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE). The Teachers Turn the Key (TTTK) award is a national scholarship program that allows early career agricultural educators to attend the annual NAAE convention and gives them an opportunity to become involved with their professional association on a national level. TTTK winners take part in special programming during the convention that is designed to address the concerns of early career agricultural educators. By being selected for the TTTK award, Heilers will be able to connect with other agricultural education professionals who are at a similar point in their careers.
Each of the TTTK winners will receive a plaque and a scholarship to cover registration, travel and housing for the 2010 NAAE convention in Las Vegas. RAM Truck Brand sponsors the TTTK award as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. Heilers, of Botkins, has been an instructor at the Fort Loramie satellite since 2009.
