To the Editor:

It’s fun looking back on a career in education and reflecting on the days that filled our lives with the desire to help a child.

We all know that teachers today feel that way, as they go about each task, educating and molding children’s lives in a positive way. Teaching is not only a profession, it is a calling to shape the future leaders of our country.

May 8-12 is National Teacher Appreciation Week.  It is a time to say “Thank You” to the special teachers you know. Please tell them that you appreciate all they do for children on a daily basis.  Your kind words will make their day!
