This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. Our teachers are a positive influence in the lives of our students, work long hours creating lessons and providing feedback for growth, and bring energy to their classrooms every day. In many ways their work with students boils down to the thoughts in this poem:
Special Teacher
What you taught me
in just a few minutes a day
will help me
for my lifetime.
Thank you.
Thank you to our teachers for your work to change lives!
Please consider attending this event and supporting our students!
