Summary
Friend, today we’re shining a spotlight on some unsung heroes - our educators.
From late and long hours to supplying our students with the things they need to succeed, our educators fill the gaps without being asked.
As Teacher Appreciation Week approaches, I was encouraged to send a note to a teacher that made a difference in my life 21 years ago. In this chat I am sharing that story and what happened after I sent that note.
This is the perfect time for us to show up for our educators. You can do that by sharing a story about an incredible educator this Teacher Appreciation Week. Go to NEA.org/TAWstory to shoutout an educator in your life.
Thanks for being here today friend and THANK YOU to all of our educators! We support, love, and appreciate you!
