Inc. vice president, external affairs, western region.
"Earlier this month, the Foundation presented 10 Wyoming
classroom educators with its Teacher Achievement Award,"

to teachers who submitted exemplary applications to the Arch
Coal Teacher Achievement Awards Program and came close to

classrooms, too," said Schaefer. "We count on
classroom teachers to educate our children about subject

The Arch Coal Teacher Achievement Awards Program is the
longest running, privately sponsored, statewide teacher
recognition program in Wyoming. Nominations of the teachers
are made by the public, and selection is made by a
blue-ribbon panel of the teachers' peers, all former
recipients of the Arch Coal award. Nominated teachers
returned extensive applications that included their
philosophy of teaching, reflections on what motivates them to
continue to teach, and creative methods they use to achieve
results in their classrooms. The judging panel examined and
scored applications multiple times.
The Wyoming Department of Education, the Wyoming Education
Association, the Wyoming library community, Taco John's
and Loaf 'N Jug stores are longstanding supporters of
the program. The Arch Coal Foundation also is a supporter of
teacher- recognition and grant programs in West Virginia,
Utah and Colorado, as well as a number of other
education-related causes.
U.S.-based Arch Coal, Inc. (NYSE:ACI) is a top five global
