Dear Teachers and School Staff,
Where do I begin? I guess with a wholehearted thank you.
Thank you for choosing to show up for our kids in person and/or online.
Thank you for your dedication to our children and figuring things out, even though it was challenging and not what you signed up to do.
Thank you for being examples of courage, strength, and bravery for our kids.
Thank you for your patience with our children and with us, the parents, as we were all navigating the unknown beside you this year.
Thank you for the countless hours outside of your paid day that you have spent to make this year happen.
Thank you for the energy you put into our kids, even when you yourself may have been depleted.
Thank you for wearing a mask all day so our children could be in school with you and their friends.
Thank you for keeping up with the tedious task of cleaning your classroom when we didn’t know if that’s how the virus spread.
Thank you for understanding that what the kids are going through within is more important than the score on their paper and for doing your part to help them be well within.
Thank you for pairing with us everyday to raise our children and help them grow into who they were made to be.
Thank you for you perseverance to see this year through.
Thank you for your selfless service to our children and our community. Not everyone was made to do the work you do, and you do it so well.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all you have done this year, and all you do every year.
With gratitude and appreciation,
Shawn
