An official with Arch Coal says nominating an outstanding teacher for the company's "Teacher Achievement  Award" would make a great Christmas gift.

Greg Schaefer, the company's vice-president for external affairs, says nominating a teacher 'costs you about two minutes of your time and lets teachers know they are appreciated". Schaefer says there is a website where you can nominate a teacher.

You can also get nomination forms for the award at partner businesses, including Taco John's and Loaf 'N' Jug stores, as well as the Wyoming Governor's Office and  the Wyoming Department of Education.

Ten teachers will get a $3,500 award from the company, and recipients will be announced in the spring.
