Apple Valley Dental & Braces wants to recognize local students who are going above and beyond in academics, leadership, citizenship, athletics, kindness, etc.

So they're inviting parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends to nominate deserving local students for some recognition -- and a reward! Each month during the school year, Apple Valley Dental and Braces will review nominations and select one local high school student, one local middle schooler and one local elementary school student to receive a $100 Visa gift card.

This month's theme is "Most Improved." Can you think of a local student who's Improved greatly? From meeting goals to overcoming their challenges -- how do they earn the title of most improved? Fill out the form below and tell us about that student.
