A Special Meet-and-Greet Reception for Contra Costa County's Newest Teachers of the Year

From Jonathan B. Lance, Contra Costa County Office of Education:

All 22 members of the Contra Costa County’s Teachers of the Year, Class of 2015-2016, were on hand for the annual Teacher of the Year (TOY) Reception, held on May, 4, at the Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE), in Pleasant Hill.

The Reception is a great chance for the recently elected school district TOYs to meet each other and learn more about the upcoming year for them. Also in attendance were many of the TOYs’ school principals and district superintendents. The TOY Dinner Celebration will be held on September 24, at the Concord Hilton is for the TOYs to celebrate their much-earned recognition with their family members, friends, and co-workers. Approximately 450 will attend this impressive event
