Superintendent Carter thanks teachers

Teachers in Walla Walla and in communities across the nation will be in the spotlight this week to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. Few other professionals touch as many people as teachers do.

When parents in Walla Walla drop their children off for school they know they are in good hands. Our teachers care for our students as if they were their own children. Teachers work to open students minds to ideas, knowledge and dreams. Our teachers use research based teaching strategies to improve achievement and collaborate with their peers to understand each childs specific needs.

But the relationship of teachers goes well beyond the curriculum. Teachers also serve as role models and mentors to Walla Walla youth. They take time to learn their students passions and interests. They listen and care.

Teachers continue to influence us long after our school days are only memories. This week especially take time to reach out and thank a teacher for all they do for Walla Walla children.
