This is an anonymous quote that I love- it's so easy to see how it would be possible for a teacher to change the course of a student's life. So for "Teacher Appreciation Week" I want to let everyone know that the teacher I appreciate most is one who:
- understands that everyone needs a second chance, or a third or a fourth....
- goes above and beyond to help a struggling student
- is a positive role model- perhaps the only one in a child's life
- inspires everyone to be and do their best every day
- challenges students to reach higher than they ever thought they could
- teaches students to love learning
- would never give up on a student
I am so proud and honored that these qualities are found in the teachers who are part of our Raymond School District family. They are truly making a difference.
Thank you, teachers- I appreciate all you do.
And, of course, as this is also National School Nurses Week- a big thank you to our nurses for their hard work with our students. (For insights into what a day is like for our nurses, read my blog for December 18.)
