400,000 Back-to-School Posters Distributed
The latest edition of our “Behind Every Famous Person is a Fabulous Teacher” posters were distributed by Scholastic as teachers returned to school
in September. There are 100,00 posters each of actress Edie Falco with teacher Mr. Sandy Valerio, and singer Carrie Underwood with mother, Carole
Underwood, who taught for twenty-five years and two sisters, Stephanie Shelton and Shanna Means, who currently teach. We are also carrying posters of MLS star
and current Chicago Fire forward
Brian McBride with teacher Mr. John Erfort, and actress and singer Vanessa Williams with
mother, teacher Ms. Helen Williams. This back-to-school distribution is double the number of posters that TeachersCount sent out last fall, and makes a total
of 800, 000 posters sent out this year.
Free Posters Available
We have some posters available from the latest edition of our “Behind Every Famous Person is a Fabulous Teacher” campaign. You can view the posters

immense viral marketing, TeachersCount is officially out of all the posters that were released prior to our most recent back-to-school distribution. While we
do have the posters mentioned above, requests for any other posters cannot be fulfilled.
