One thing that I always stress in my programs is the importance of making sure that those we work with know that we appreciate them and the things they do for students. Teachers make a difference and have the power to change lives for the better. Enjoy a dozen quotes personally chosen by me that express my appreciation for the incredibly important work educators do every day of the school year and then so

Educators: All of us who work with youth to educate, inspire, lead, teach, counsel, and take to the next level.

Thank you, so much, for making a difference!
