On Tuesday, April 28, 2009, the Arch Coal Company honored five teachers from five rural districts where the Arch Coal employees live. Carbon County was honored to have Carol Carlson, a third grade teacher at Wellington Elementary win one of the prestigious awards.
This award is given to teachers all over the United States, Arch Coal is in its third year of presenting these awards. Teachers have to be nominated by parents or colleagues and then the company has them complete a rigorous application. The winners are chosen by a cadre of teachers and then honored at a luncheon and presentation at a local school. This year the awards assembly was at Wellington Elementary. Many school superintendents, principals, and local civic leaders were in attendance. The students at Wellington Elementary were thrilled to have Mrs. Carlson win! Carol has been a past president for the Carbon County Education Association and is presently the secretary for the local association. Bonneville UniServ is pleased to have another "winner" among our teaching ranks. Congratulations for a teaching job well done.
