            She was in the library with her class when we surprised her with this week's Golden Apple Award, an honor she appreciates.

            7th grader Ally Krautter nominated Mrs. Williams because she makes learning fun, and uses technology to stay in touch with students outside of the classroom.

Mollie Williams: "I'm a strong believer in technology ... With a lot of information."

Ally Krautter, student nominator:  "Now you think it's cool ... Find out questions."
