Kindergarten deliver May baskets to Long Term.
Teacher appreciation week is May 1 through May 7
Teachers, coaches, support staff and school personnel are after immediate family, typically the most important and influential people in our children’s lives!
Teachers provide academic instruction and ensure that learning is taking place each day but they do so much more... Teachers instill and reinforce the values that parents initiate at home. Teachers provide discipline and structure in order for young people to learn and thrive. Teachers provide social and emotional support and education so our young people can learn how to manage, cope and survive in this ever-changing world. They teach our young work ethic, drive, determination and the value of doing their best. Each day teachers demonstrate to our children caring, respect, understanding, patience, equity and love.
Teaching is probably one of the oldest and most noble professions dating back prior to 561 BC and Confucius. Ever since that time the need for teachers has been growing and is currently at an all time high.
Teaching is a time-consuming and extremely challenging profession that we often take for granted. This week is a chance for us to remind our teachers, coaches, support staff how much we appreciate their hard work, thoughtfulness, patience, love and care they put into teaching our children each day!
Thank you teachers!
