It’s #TeacherAppreciationWeek! Just remember, your child’s teacher doesn’t want a cute bucket full of pencils and glue sticks. Those are necessities. Show your appreciation by telling the teacher what they mean to you and your family. Why are you grateful for their work?
*Necessities = you should gift those anyway because teachers are paying for them out of their own pocket. Go the extra mile. What do you appreciate about their work?
I can’t say I remember every #TeacherAppreciationWeek gift I ever received. I do, however, still have a stack of cards and letters parents wrote telling me what I meant to them and their student.
I take #TeacherAppreciationWeek very seriously myself. Not so much because of my personal experience as a teacher as my personal experience as a student. I can point to 6 specific teachers from my K-12 years who changed my life forever.
Not just this week but EVERY week, I feel compelled to #ThankATeacher:
1. Joe Harris, Elem Gifted Ed
2. Pennie Pearlman, MS Drama
3. Bill Womack, HS Health/PE
4. Lorraine Young, Algebra 1 & Geometry
5. Denie Pursley, Chemistry
6. Sandra Owens, AP Chem, Anatomy, & Microbiology

I became a teacher in order to try to give back and hopefully do for other young people what that group of teachers did for me: Inspire, motivate, love (sometimes tough love when needed), educate, encourage, counsel, and empower.
