Our teachers are super heroes!

Monday kicked off Teacher Appreciation Week and boy is this week one to celebrate!

Two women in a classroom. The one on the left is wearing a blue shirt that says Teachers are just super heroes in disguise and a gold cape. She hands a gift to a woman on the right who has long blonde hair and is wearing a black shirt. Both are wearing face masks.

For more than a year now, our teachers have devised innovative ways to teach our students who are sitting in front of them in the classroom as well as those who are learning remotely through a computer screen.

A woman with short blonde hair holds up her key chain that says Teaching is my super power. She is wearing a face mask and a green shirt.

They have been cheerleaders for students, parents and their colleagues. They have been encouraging when they themselves had to dig deep to stay positive. They have sacrificed and inspired.

A woman on the left and a man on the right are both wearing facemasks and t shirts that say Teachers are just super heroes in disguise.

The district’s Executive Director of Human Resources, Data and School Counseling, Angela Wise-Landman, visited every teacher in the district last Wednesday and Thursday, to thank them for all they do for our students and our district. At each of the schools, she was accompanied by the building principal, assistant principal or both! On behalf of the administration, she gave each a token of appreciation – a key chain declaring “Teaching is my super power.” She even wore a gold cape to bring the point home! She spoke to the students, letting them know how special their teachers are. On many occasions, the students applauded in agreement!

A man by a long lab counter stands and watches as a woman in a blue shirt and gold cape presents him with a key chain. Two others are in the room watching. All are wearing masks.

We all know how difficult things have been in so many aspects of our lives over the past 13 months. But our teachers have been there every step of the way: understanding, encouraging, inspiring, caring.

A woman with long blonde hair, wearing a black mask and purple shirt, holds up her key chain, she received as a gift. It says Teaching is my super power.

Our hats are off to our teachers. Know that we appreciate all that you do. You are making a huge impact. From the bottom of our hearts, we sincerely thank you.
