Teachers are such an important part of society, yet they are often overlooked and under-appreciated. Their hours often extend beyond the school day and many times they spend money out of their own pockets in order to best provide for their students. While this first week of May is a time to emphasize just how much they are appreciated, we all know they deserve so much more! For this week though, go out of your way to express just a little more gratitude. Buying your child’s teacher a small gift or just telling them how much you appreciate them can go a long way, because while they could have pursued a variety of different careers, they chose to instead invest in this country’s future!
