This month includes Teacher Appreciation Week. I would love to connect with you on Mighty Networks and encourage you this month to make a post sharing a success story about yourself or a teacher you know. Let’s show our appreciation and praise for those amazing educators! I look forward to hearing your stories about these heroes who spend so much time nurturing and supporting our children!! One of my favorite teachers was Mrs. Shirley, my homeroom teacher throughout my middle school(we called it secondary school). She was always encouraging, kind and gentle.
