Tomorrow, May 8th is National
Teacher Appreciation Day. Better than that, some places celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week from May 7th-11th.
My former school district chooses to honor their teachers with a full week of
goodies. That makes my colleagues still leading classrooms very happy.
In appreciation for all that teachers can do and choose to do,
and do, and do, here is an alphabetic listing of just a few of the people who enable
us to enjoy lives that are healthier,
happier, safer and enriched.

What do all of these professions and careers have in common? They include people who do what they do because
teachers taught them how to read, write, add and subtract, speak various languages, compute, invent, create, think, reason, analyze, try and try again, and then do.
Teachers Appreciation celebrations - be they a Day or a Week - remind us to thank teachers for all that
they can do, and all that they choose to do, so that we can successfully do
what we do. What an awesome profession!
Thank you, Teachers!!!
Enjoy a Teach It Now Day Every Day
