This October, the Cobb Chamber of Commerce is celebrating the 23rd year of Give Our Schools a Hand (GOSH).
Motivating the community to take an active role in Cobb's public school systems, the GOSH program has become one of the largest celebrations in the nation to honor local teachers, and has been since 1988.
GOSH week is an event that brings teachers, students, parents, businesses and the community together. Education is honored through three events: the Handprint Unveiling Ceremony, the Teacher of the Year Breakfast and the Teacher of the Year Pep Rally.
The public is invited to the Marietta Square for the handprint unveiling of the Cobb County and Marietta Teachers of the Year on Wednesday, Oct. 5 at 10:30 a.m. in Glover Park.
On Oct. 25, there will be a breakfast and pep rally to honor all Cobb and Marietta Teachers of the Year. It will be held at Roswell Street Baptist Church. The breakfast is by invitation only while the pep rally (beginning at 11 a.m.) is open to the public.
Bringing GOSH week to a close on Nov. 7, Ed Voyles Automotive Group will present the Teacher of the Year (elementary, middle and high school) a free one-year car lease during the Cobb Chamber's First Monday Breakfast.
