TEXAS, USA — World Teachers' Day is coming up Monday, October 5, and cities across Texas are preparing to mark the day with light blue signs of support.
Businesses, organizations, municipalities and community members across Texas are encouraged to celebrate World Teachers’ Day with a statewide show of light blue – the official color of education.
The “show of blue” will include trees wrapped in light blue ribbons and buildings and landscaping illuminated in light blue lighting.
The lighting displays will begin Monday at 5 p.m. as part of #TeachersCan, a statewide movement led by teachers and supported by more than 125 partnering businesses and organizations committed to elevating the teaching profession and honoring the critical role teachers play in the success of Texas.
