National Teacher Appreciation Week

National Teacher Appreciation Week
May 7-11, 2018

What would we do without teachers? They give of their time, energy and resources to make sure that kids’ minds are opened to the world around them, daring them to dream. I’ve had a few great teachers in my life as well as teachers who educated my children, who supported and encouraged us.

A teacher’s job is not easy. There are teachers who deal with more challenging fields such as working with children that have disabilities, learning or behavioral challenges. Learning doesn’t stop after one is an adult. There are GED programs, colleges, universities and vocational programs that prepare us for the workforce, teachers who shape our careers and lives.

Now more than ever teachers need our confidence and support. Although we can’t thank every teacher, let’s take some time to remember the teachers in our lives during National Teacher Appreciation Week.
