The law firm of Alexander Shunnarah Personal Injury Attorneys, P.C. on Wednesday announced the “Alexander Shunnarah Teacher of the Month” initiative to spotlight outstanding K-12 teachers in the Birmingham-metro area.

The program kicks off this month and ends in May.

A press release from the law firm emphasized that the idea is to show the firm’s deep appreciation for the service teachers provide to the young minds of the community. The new program is an example of the firm’s gratitude and recognizes those leaders in the educational community that dedicate themselves to impacting the next generation for the better.

In a statement, firm president and CEO Alexander Shunnarah said, “Teachers go above and beyond daily to provide phenomenal learning areas and environments for our children.”

“In addition to educating young minds, they oftentimes have to provide their students with school supplies and other items from their own resources,” he added.

The initiative will honor recipients monthly with the title, “Alexander Shunnarah Teacher of the Month,” and as a token of gratitude from the firm, gift recipients will receive a $200 VISA gift card and the opportunity to have their photo displayed on one of Alexander Shunnarah’s digital billboards for a day. All nominations will be reviewed by a selected panel of attorneys with Alexander Shunnarah Personal Injury Attorneys, P.C. to choose the highlighted teachers each month.

“We wanted to create an opportunity for students and parents to thank the teachers in our area for all that they do and remind them their selfless efforts do not go unnoticed,” Shunnarah concluded.

This program lines up with Shunnarah’s personal mission to consistently give back to the Birmingham community and the surrounding Alabama areas.
