If you think you've seen a lot of Jemelleh Coes, Georgia's 2014 Teacher of the Year from Langston Chapel Middle School, you will see even more of her should you visit a Wells Fargo ATM.

Throughout this month, customers using Wells Fargo's more than 500 ATMs across Georgia will be greeted with a screen congratulating Coes, featuring her picture and some details about her teaching achievements.

"I am honored that Wells Fargo is recognizing teachers on their ATMs," said Coes. "It's wonderful that Wells Fargo is calling attention to educators across the country, thanking them for the work they do to educate and mentor today's students."

Wells Fargo district manager Linda Jordan added: "At Wells Fargo, we know that talented teachers are critical to the success of students, families and communities, and we believe it's important to celebrate those teachers. We congratulate Mrs. Coes and thank all of our teachers for their service. Our entire community benefits from their work, and we want to show our appreciation by honoring one of Georgia's best."

From 2008 to 2013, Coes taught at Langston Chapel Middle School in Statesboro as a special education English language arts teacher.

She received her bachelor's and master's degrees from Georgia Southern University.
