Teacher Appreciation Week

This week has been set aside as National Teacher Appreciation Week to focus attention on the many outstanding educators whose work deserves applause. Let's contribute to the efforts of improving our schools and reinforcing the quality of education in our community; let's recognize teachers for the significant role they play in our lives and in the well-being of our nation. Let's take time to say "thanks" to the teachers of our community and throughout the United States.

Our public school teachers are doing an outstanding job. They perform daily miracles in their classrooms, which many Americans often overlook. We have asked them to shoulder a major responsibility, and we frequently seek their help with non-teaching tasks. We as US citizens are considered to be among the best-educated citizens in the world. And for that, we have our teachers to thank.

In my years of teaching, I have worked with no finer staff than the staff we have here in WISD, and it is reflected in the smiles of our students and the pride in which those of us who are a part of the WISD community speak. I am truly blessed to work with such a tremendous people.


P.S. As an aside, I'd like to personally acknowledge and thank the PTO and specifically the President, Misty Stock, for the hard work and effort put forth in preparing for Teacher Appreciation Week. We have been spoiled this week, and I want to let them know how much we as a staff appreciates the treats and goodies we have received this week.
