| TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK
The Best Teachers (by Joanna Fichs)
Teachers open up young minds, showing them the wonders of the intellect
and the miracle of being able to think for themselves.
A teacher exercises the mental muscles of students,
stretching and strengthening, so they can make challenging decisions,
find their way in the world, and become independent.
The best teachers care enough to gently push and prod students
to do their best and fulfill their potential. You are one of those. Thank you.
This week, join us as we show our appreciation and gratitude for all of the wonderful teachers at St. Michael's. Thank you teachers for all you do to promote a lifelong love of learning and discovery in our St M children!
