Teachers --- as always, you remain the backbone of your schools and our network. Thank you for every large and small way you've stepped up to the challenge over the last year+ to deliver a top quality education for our scholars. You change lives on a daily basis, you model humility, flexibility, determination and deep care. The work is not easy, and yet I hope you take at least a moment to feel the warmth of knowing that YOUR WORK, what you dedicate HOURS AND HOURS to EVERY day makes a difference. You, and your daily contribution, matter more than anyone could capture in a Padlet.

THANK YOU, and ever in awe of you all!

This has been an unprecedented year and each of you have stepped up in so many ways for our scholars and families. I've had the pleasure of seeing so many smiles, "a-has," deep discussion, dance parties, and celebrations due to the thoughtfulness and creativity you've brought to this work. I'm truly humbled to work with folks I'm so humbled and inspired by. I (and our scholars!) have learned so much and continue to learn from  you each day, not just about content knowledge or amazing ways to navigate tech, but about what it truly means to care for the whole person. Much gratitude!

I can't thank you all enough for all the amazing work you do with students day in and day out. I've been so impressed with how you have all adapted to the changes of operating in a pandemic. You all have shown me how to be more flexible with navigating change. The creativity, love, and joy that has come out of your classrooms despite everything going on truly inspires me.

Hey Teachers,
You are amazing. I've always said that I could never do what you do and this year is no different - not only do you have teach but you are doing it in the middle of a pandemic! Shifting from teaching in-person to teaching remote and not skipping a beat.  I get a little sneak peak of your awesomeness every day as I see my son engaged in his remote classes and I'm in awe at what you do.  Thank you for continuing to provide much needed support for our kids and families.
Thanks,
TB (Team School Ops)

I have been in awe of AF teachers ever since I first visited an AF school back in 2007, I remained in awe of your when I worked alongside you as teacher at ENYMS from 2009-2012, was even more floored by you as DSO at BRMS, and now get to see your excellence across so many schools. A global pandemic thrown your way and a complete restructuring of how you love, support, and lead kids? No big deal, y'all just rose to the challenge and figured it out. As a momma, a special thank you for supporting our kids through such a challenging time. Y'all are amazing! <3 Erin, NY RDO

As always, our teachers are the glue. In times of strife the people who are the most important and integral to our work shine through. Thank you for everything you are doing for our scholars and families! Working in a pandemic is no small feat and you are seen and appreciated :)

Thank you for all your amazing work! You all are superheroes during normal times, but teaching during a pandemic? Super superheroes? If there is such a thing, it's our teachers and instructional staff at AF. You are seen and deeply, deeply appreciated.

I am so humbled & proud to work with you - seeing your pivot to virtual instruction, I can only imagine how hard that was. And, when I see how your in person (and also now virtual) leadership shows care, love, and persistence for our kids, I am just in so much admiration. Thank you for all you do every year, but especially now and in the year to come <3 Grant

I'm in awe of the work you do for our schools and kids.  This year has been beyond crazy, and you continuously show up with so much love and grit.  I don't even have the words to express my admiration.  Also, a SPECIAL shout out to our wonderful TIRs- you make learning to teach during a pandemic look easy.  Spending time in your Zoom rooms is such a honor.  And ANOTHER special shout out to our amazing RAs!  The work you do to lead your own classrooms AND ensure that our TIRs are supported is mindblowing.  Seriously- thank you, thank you, thank you <3

Who would have thought it would go on for THIS long? But you are all superheroes truly going above and beyond because kiddos deserve the best. Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for all that you do! In a world with so much uncertainty you show up every day with smiles on your faces for the kiddos. Not only are you teaching, but we also tend to ask a lot of you too. Connecting with candidates, sharing your experiences and sharing your stories which is really want makes the candidate sign.  Thank you for always going above and beyond and truly showing what it means to go further together.
