The 2007-2008 Symetra Heroes in the Classroom program kicked off the week of September 2, with the Seattle Seahawks and Symetra Financial honoring Seattle Public School teachers for educational excellence. Symetra Heroes in the Classroom recognizes local teachers for outstanding leadership and instructional skills throughout the Seahawks season.

Twenty-four exceptional teachers are selected from the district's 3,100 educators to receive the award. These teachers will be honored both in their classrooms and on the field during Seahawk's home games this season.

Symetra also hopes to raise over $45,000 to outfit Seattle classrooms with books and supplies. In addition to providing support for classroom supplies, teachers at a number of high-poverty elementary and K-8 schools will use the funds to select and purchase books for students.
