Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week. While not all of you have the title of Teacher according to your contract, this week is about celebrating all of you
who influence the lives of our students. I certainly appreciate all the little things you do (like planning last minute details for Grandparents Day and supervising for bus or recess duty), but what I appreciate so
much more is the environment you create for our students. Kids love coming to school each day, and parents
feel welcome here by all of you.
The
compassion for our families, respect for one another, and focus on kids
can't be neatly measured and represented on a school report card, but
to me, it's more important than any other piece of data that exists.
This makes me think of the quote, "Years from now children might forget
what you taught them, but they will never forget how you made them
feel."
