San
Jose, CA, USA -- The Santa Clara County Federal Credit Union
(http://www.sccfcu.org)
is proud to be a sponsor of the Teacher Recognition Celebration
organized by the Santa Clara County Office of Education (SCCOE) again
this year. This marks the 23rd year that County Federal has partnered
with the SCCOE to recognize teachers throughout the county for their
educational excellence and commitment to their students, school, and
the community.
The
2018 Teacher Recognition Celebration, held October 22, marked nearly
50 years of Santa Clara County honoring educational excellence,
making the SCCOE Teacher Recognition Celebration one of the oldest
and most prestigious in the state. The Celebration is held every
autumn to applaud the outstanding work of teachers from every Santa
Clara County school district. This year, 31 educators were honored
for their outstanding work, as well as five teachers who received the
STEM Teaching Award from event co-sponsor Texas Instruments.
"Educators
are the unsung heroes of our community and we are proud to support
Teacher Recognition Day as part our commitment to Santa Clara
County," said Rebecca Lytle, President and CEO of County
Federal. "We have been serving county, city, and school
employees for more than 65 years but we seldom have this type of
opportunity to publicly recognize the professionals who work to make
our community such a wonderful place to call home."
The
SCCOE created the Teacher Recognition Celebration to increase public
awareness of the vital role educators play in helping youth and
shaping the community, and to acknowledge the achievement, sacrifice,
and training required of today's teachers. Recognition also helps
strengthen ties between students and teachers and promotes greater
understanding between generations.
