Teacher Appreciation Week May 4-8

May 4-8

**TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK**

Every young mind needs a spark to light the way to a brighter future through learning-and teachers are that spark. In 1984, National PTA established Teacher Appreciation Week-the first full week in May-to honor the dedicated men and women who lend their passion and skills to educating our children. I encourage you to recognize all of the ways teachers contribute to the lives of children. During this special week, help National PTA and its nearly 6 million members show teachers the appreciation they so richly deserve. Teachers, in partnership with parents, truly make a difference.

-Anna Weselak, PTA National President 

Please take time this week to thank all your teachers (don’t forget the Specialists…) for what they do for our children. With rising test scores and wonderful role models we are all blessed to be touched by such fabulous educators.
