Shining Apple Volunteers Celebrated at Award Ceremony

    • Published April 24, 2024

      Williamson County Schools thanked its top volunteers for their dedication and service to the district at the 28th Annual Shining Apple Awards ceremony April 23.

      Each of the district's 52 schools selected an honoree to celebrate at the evening's event, which featured short videos recorded by students and staff thanking the volunteers for their work. The ceremony was sponsored by the Williamson County Board of Education.

      "This is one of my favorite events we host throughout the year," said WCS Superintendent Jason Golden. "Our district could not operate the way it does without the help of our volunteers. This is just a small way we can show our appreciation. There's really no way we can thank them enough."

      Congratulations to the Shining Apple volunteers listed below. A full video of the ceremony will be included in the April 30 issue of InFocus.
