Canton, GA (June 2, 2011) – The Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce Education Committee in partnership with Cobb EMC is recognizing retiring educators from the Cherokee County School District by donating funds to the Sequoyah Regional Library System. The funds will be used to purchase books for all five library branches located around the county. The books will include a label recognizing all faculty, staff and administrators who retired during the 2010-2011 school year. Each retiree received notification that a book would be donated in their honor.

 The Chamber’s Education Committee also acknowledges new teachers and Teachers of the Year in each school. This is the second year that the Chamber has acknowledged retiring educators for their valuable contribution to the lives of students in Cherokee County.  The Chamber is pleased to have Cobb EMC sponsor this new tribute to Cherokee County’s educators.
