Add a 'Facebook Frame' & Other Ways to Honor Our Jeffco Teachers
We have many virtual celebratory activities planned to honor our outstanding Jeffco teachers starting Monday. Have you created anything yet from Jeffco Makes to celebrate our awesome Jeffco educators? If not, be sure to do so this weekend so we can share out your positive messages first thing Monday!
In the meantime, we ask Jeffco parents, guardians, and students to add a frame to your Facebook profile picture (I Heart My Teacher| Thank You Teachers | Teachers Rock) so we can join together as a community to celebrate all the educators who positively impact our students each day. #jeffcopride!
Looking for other ways to celebrate educators? Check out this webpage created by the Arvada Chamber of Commerce in recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week, where you can shop local and recognize a teacher.
