Bus Ad Campaign Recognizes Sonoma County Educators

05/06/2024 -

As we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6-10, the Sonoma County Office of Education (SCOE) is in the midst of a communitywide campaign to showcase some of our public schools' exemplary educators. The campaign is sponsored by a number of community partners, including Community First Credit Union, Community Foundation Sonoma County, Exchange Bank, Redwood Empire School Insurance Group, Redwood Credit Union, and Santa Rosa Junior College.

A series of posters celebrating how teachers are “guiding lights” for their students is running on the backs of Sonoma County Transit buses during April and May. The posters include photographs of educators chosen to represent their colleagues through nominations received through the Sonoma County Teacher of the Month and other recognition programs.

“We know our schools are more welcoming spaces and students do better academically when they have meaningful connections with adults on campus,” said Dr. Amie Carter, Sonoma County Superintendent of Schools. “Each of these educators stands out for their ability to understand, inspire, and motivate the students in their care.”
