Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys this week announced the “Alexander Shunnarah Teacher of the Month” campaign will expand statewide this year.

The initiative successfully began last year highlighting educators in the Birmingham metropolitan area.

The nominations for the 2020-2021 school year opened on Wednesday and will continue until May.

Alexander Shunnarah plans to honor two or three K-12 teachers per month based on nominations made from students, parents, faculty, staff and peers across the Yellowhammer State.

This represents another expansion of the program, which recognized eight teachers last year after receiving more than 400 nominations.

“We started this campaign as an opportunity for the community to thank the hard working and dedicated teachers for all that they do,” stated Alexander Shunnarah, president and CEO of the Birmingham-based law firm. “This year we are excited to be able to expand the initiative to make it bigger and better by doubling the number of featured teachers and expanding the reach of the campaign to include the entire state of Alabama. Teachers deserve to be recognized for their dedication and the impact they make every day in the classroom or virtually.”

Honorees of the “Alexander Shunnarah Teacher of the Month” will receive a $250 VISA gift card and their headshot on an Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys digital billboard for a day.
