National Teacher Appreciation Day

Sometime during our school years, we’ve all had a teacher that’s made a difference.  Perhaps it was someone who inspired us, expanded our views of the world, or simply showed us kindness.

Teachers play so many roles in our lives – educator, counselor, coach, mentor, nurturer, advocate – and on and on.  They give countless hours of their time and talents during the school day and beyond.

On this National Teacher Appreciation Day, reach out to a teacher who had an impact on your life.  A brief note of thanks or even a message on social media means so much.  There’s nothing quite as rewarding as knowing your work has had a transformative effect on someone’s life!
