Thank a Teacher!
21 NOV 2018 · Teachers are often such unsung heroes, we went straight to the recipients of their work to let them thank teachers for their work. We spoke to Kindergarten through 12th graders, who quite brilliantly articulate their appreciation for the time and dedication teachers put into this really tough work that we do. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
