Texas Teachers’ Day — October 5
Every year, October 5 marks Texas Teachers’ Day. On that day, and during the week it falls within, #TeachersCan and our 150+ partners rally organizations, communities around the state, and Texans to show teachers how much we honor and appreciate them.
Did you know?
In colleges and universities, light blue represents the academic color of education.
#TeachersCan pays tribute to the dedication of these scholars and educators
by making light blue integral to campaign design elements.
Teachers need our support.
Below are several ways individuals, businesses, school boards, city councils, and others can make a big statement for Texas Teachers’ Day.
1. Illuminate Your Building
During the week of October 5th, we want to see as many iconic buildings as possible illuminated in blue — the academic color of education — to light up the state for our teachers who continue to be a bright, guiding light for our students.
Contact us to add your building to the list.
2. Display a Light Blue Ribbon
Display a light blue ribbon outside your house, school, business, or organization to show your support of teachers.
