Thank you for your dedication to students and your service to our schools. While this has been a challenging year for everyone, it has been especially difficult for teachers.  Thank you for your hard work and your willingness to do the impossible in order to make education possible for our students who have attended school in-person, remote, and 100% virtual. You all are truly rock stars... and our schools, communities, nation and world are made better because of you!

Thank you for your service and ministry to our children. Little eyes are always looking. Little ears are always listening. So what do they see and what do they hear? They see and hear dedicated staff who teach them how to learn, how love unconditionally, how to speak respectfully, how to overcome, and how put others first. So thank you for being that role model that every child needs. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week.

Wow...What can I even put into words and actions all that each of you have achieved for THIS school year! Not only did you adapt and adjust to the very special roles that each of you do every day...you ensured that every student knew that they were appreciated, loved and supported through every day's challenges, changes in delivery of instruction, and an upside down view of "this place we call school". Thank you and Thank you and Thank you.,...Hands UP to each of you!
