Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!

A good teacher is like a candle--it consumes itself to light the way for others.--author unknown

I feel so privileged to work with so many wonderful teachers! These are people who work tirelessly for the benefit of the students they love and serve. They are faced with many problems, questions, and issues that vary as greatly as the children they teach. Daily, they influence, protect, and guide our children in the hopes of helping those children to see their great potential and reach their highest goals. Teachers don't leave their jobs at work. They bring home their lesson plans, papers to grade, and their concerns over how to do a better job reaching their students. They deal with varied pressures from students, parents, and administrators, and struggle to do what is best for the children. Give your child's teacher a big "THANK YOU" this week! They work hard to benefit our children and their future!
