Is anyone else here excited about this season, this week?\u00a0 Or is it just us? Because here at eTags we\u2019re feeling like little kids, what with all the holiday cheer going on lately.\u00a0 Frosty temps up north, milder days down south, but it makes no matter; palm trees or pine trees\u2026we\u2019re loving it all. The holiday lights and happy tunes, the steaming hot cocoa and colorful sugar cookies. And maybe most importantly, how this time of year – while the darkest month in the northern hemisphere – can also bring such glowy, cozy brightness!<\/p>\n

And within that joyful sense of shedding light on people and places, we bring you this week\u2019s featured Specialty License Plate.\u00a0 It\u2019s a sweet one, to be sure.<\/p>\n

Today the spotlight shines brightly on\u2026 the Support Education Specialty Plate.<\/p>\n

This design, newly revamped after twenty-five years (way to glow-up, guys!) of circulation, is a good one. But before we get into the ins and outs of this particular theme, let\u2019s do a quick recap of what a Specialty Plate is, and why we have our beloved series here on the blog featuring these tags. \"Support<\/p>\n

You see, the state of Florida, in addition to the regular registration plate assigned to people registering vehicles for the first time, also has on offer over two hundred Specialty Plates.\u00a0 These fancy tags come from all walks of life, all areas, interested, hobbies, and causes, and each plate is completely different from the next.<\/p>\n

Some of the most beloved examples of Specialty Plates (there are over 2.2 million in circulation as of this month, December 2024, by the way!) are Miami Heat, Endless Summer, Protect Wild Dolphins, Marine Corps, and Walt Disney World, to name a few.<\/p>\n

A Specialty Plate is more than just a pretty face.<\/h2>\n

Or, more than just a pretty plate<\/em>, we should say. Behind each design lies a cause, a charity, an organization – a group of people, an endangered species, a delicate piece of the ecosystem, a troupe of gallant first-responders \u2013 all of whom benefit from the purchase of the plate associated with them.<\/p>\n

Meaning, when you chose to upgrade to the Specialty Plate of your choice, a significant portion of the fees paid for the purchase of that plate goes directly to the foundation behind it. Let\u2019s explain further, using this week\u2019s spotlight to illustrate how it works.\"School<\/p>\n

The Support Education Specialty Plate is part of a statewide system that helps support both students and teachers across Florida.<\/p>\n
