Take time to thank a teacher on National Teacher Day: By Superintendent Rich Carter
Teachers in Walla Walla and in communities across the nation will be in the spotlight on National Teacher Day, Tuesday, May 5. Students, parents, school administrators and the public are encouraged to take notice of how teachers continue to make Walla Walla Public Schools a premiere school district for every student.
Few other professionals touch as many people as teachers do. Teachers have a unique role in society and in the lives of children. They provide students skills they will rely on for life. In addition to instruction, teachers act as cheerleaders, brighten the day and provide the gentle push needed to help students realize their true potential.
Our teachers do the little things to make the school experience meaningful. They take time to get to know their students as people. They take an interest in their passions, hopes and dreams. Reflect back on your own childhood and I guarantee a teacher will come to mind as having had a positive impact on your life.
Public schools are at the heart of any community and teachers are at the heart of any school district. Please take time to reach out and thank a teacher for all they do for Walla Walla children.
