Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! We love our teachers to the moon and back! 🌙
We’ve received so many heartfelt messages about our teachers. Here is one for Tori Henderson at Thurgood Marshall Elementary:
"You provide so much to your students and the people that you come in contact with on a daily basis. You make a difference! You set the standard for what you require from your students. You make accountability understood and you make learning exciting! Keep raising the bar a little more each day.....we are all better because of you! "
