The Trout Family Educator Award was established in 2007 by Dr. Monroe and Sandra Trout in honor of Dr. Trout's parents and siblings. The purpose of the award is to recognize a full-time FVL teacher each year for his/her professional growth opportunities to advance his/her education and benefit the FVL student body.
Educators can be nominated by students, parents, school administration, or fellow teachers. Nomination forms need to include how the teacher impacts students in the classroom, the FVL family, and the church or community at large. All nominations must include at least one letter of recommendation from someone besides the person making the nomination. All nominations are to be submitted to the FVL Principal Alan Nolte by Friday, 1/31/2025.
The nomination form is in two formats:
- Submit the nomination form online, OR
- Download and fill out the nomination form PDF. Email to anolte@fvlhs.org, bring to the School Office, or mail to FVL (5300 N. Meade St. Appleton WI, 54913, ATTN: Alan Nolte).
