Teacher Appreciation Day/Week

What day should we honor teachers
for what they do?

Correct answer: every day

That being said . . .
Our Nation and individual states have choosen
special days and months, so whether you are
a student or a parent or a friend, pick a special
day and let a teacher know that he/she is much
appreciated.


















A few words from the presidential proclamation 2016 :

Our future is written in schools across our country. It is likely that the first person who will go to Mars is in a classroom today. Our students are our future teachers, scientists, politicians, public servants, and parents -- a generation that will steer the course we will take as a people and make possible things we have not even imagined yet. We look to the women and men standing in front of classrooms in all corners of our country -- from cities to reservations to rural towns -- to vest America's daughters and sons with the hard skills they will need to put their dreams within reach and to inspire them to dream even bigger. On National Teacher Appreciation Day and during National Teacher Appreciation Week, let us ensure our educators know how much we value their service in the classroom, how much we appreciate all they do for our students and families, and how thankful we are for their contributions to our national progress.
