Appreciating Teachers

A few weeks ago, we celebrated National Education Week.  Most of us think of teacher appreciation days in the spring so this week doesn't always get a lot of attention.  However, our colleagues down in Brunswick County had a wonderful celebration.  In addition to inviting students to express their written thanks to teachers, local community leaders spent a day in the classroom to experience contemporary school life. This was a great way to bring lawmakers and business leaders into our schools to glimpse the unique challenges and rewards that teachers face every day.
Take a moment to view the video compilation of the event and its impact.  Perhaps we want to do this in more of our school systems! (It's on YouTube, so you may have to watch from home!)
