Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
Thank you for all that you do for students! You all have been champions for your students. You celebrate them, challenge them, and love them unconditionally. You are their cheerleader and during these times we are reminded that educators make such a lasting impact on the lives of students.
We never know what a school year will bring. But as educators we know what we will bring. We will always bring the "AWESOME, the LOVE, and the PASSION" for our students regardless of what is thrown at us. It is an understatement to say that 2019- 2020 has been challenging. I have no doubt our TPS students are in the best hands because they have the best teachers!
You Matter! You are amazing! You have spent several weeks going above and beyond for your students. I hope you have some time this week to pause and know how valuable you are. Stay safe! Be well.
-Carolyn Blennau
