Today is Thursday, November 16, and this American Education Week. Today we are in the auditorium because tonight is opening night of our fall play, The Giver. Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

According to the National Education Association, “Public schools are the cornerstone of our communities. This fall, about 3.6 million teachers greeted 60 million students across this country.

That’s right.  And teachers face a lot of challenges.  From technology and class sizes to testing changes and curricular shifts, teachers today need to be on their game in order to help their students be as successful as they can.

So today, let’s take an extra moment to say Thanks for all the thing teachers do for us.
