When I saw this quote, it reminds me of the amazing work that teachers, administrators, school nurses, school secretaries, paraeducators, aides, custodians, school facility workers, coaches and other school staff have accomplished during the last two plus years. In spite of all of the changes and challenges that they have had to endure, they have reached each milestone with great resolve. They do this because they want to make a difference with our future generations. Please take a moment to thank your child’s teacher or other school employee who is making a difference in your child’s life. Or if you were inspired by a teacher at some point during your educational journey, reach out and thank them. I know that I would not be the person that I am today without the support and guidance that I received from my teachers and coaches along the journey.

It takes a special person to enter the education field and it takes an even more special person to endure the challenges that they have faced. Thank you for what you do!
