The Cobb Chamber announced in a press release that three events will be held as a salute to education in Cobb County: the Handprint Unveiling Ceremony on October 6, 2022, and the Teachers of the Year breakfast and pep rally, both on October 25, 2022.

The events are part of the 33rd annual GOSH (Give Our Schools a Hand) events sponsored by the Chamber.

The press release describes the Handprint Unveiling Ceremony as follows:

At the Handprint Unveiling Ceremony on Oct. 6, the Cobb Chamber will uncover the handprints of the Cobb County and Marietta City system-wide Teachers of the Year with a crowd of students, colleagues, and members of the community. The public is invited to attend this event at The Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre in historic Marietta Square, as the two honored teachers will leave their handprint legacy on the Teacher Walk of Honor.

The breakfast and pep rally are described below:

Continuing the salute to education, the breakfast and pep rally on Tuesday, Oct. 25 honors all Cobb County, Marietta City and post-secondary Teachers of the Year at Roswell Street Baptist Church. The day starts with an invitation-only breakfast for the teachers, principals and guests followed by a public pep rally, where local students cheer on their favorite teacher of the year. Attendees enjoy entertainment through dance and musical productions from our local schools.
