Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6th through May 10th,  is dedicated to saying thank you to our teachers who work hard every day to provide the best education possible. During the week, make sure to thank the teachers you are grateful for by writing a letter, bringing a gift, or simply saying, “Thank you!” Teaching takes patience, a strong work ethic, and dedication to providing students with the gift of knowledge; thus, every teacher demonstrates something to be thankful for. Before Teacher Appreciation Week begins, students reflect on the 2018-2019 school year, sharing their favorite teachers and why they appreciate them:
