Congratulations to our 2022 Winners!

Cox and NFM have come together to celebrate the dedication of educators and school employees through the Education Heroes campaign. In March, Cox invited community members to nominate their favorite teacher, paraprofessional, administrative or custodial staff member, nurse, counselor, or learning specialist —

and share about what makes that individual a hero. After receiving over 235 nominations, a panel of leaders from

Cox selected the 50 winners. Honorees will receive a prize package consisting of a $250 gift card to NFM,

an Education Heroes water bottle, and Education Heroes t-shirts for staff members at their school.
