You Matter Moment of the Week
Happy Teacher Appreciation Day! We celebrate YOU today, the amazing educators who change lives. Thank you for your dedication that empowers students!
Check out a few You Matter Moments from teachers that participate in the marathon.
“I am a teacher and I wanted to give each child in my homeroom a You Matter card and sign it. As they came into class this morning they each had one on their desk. Many of them smiled and said Thank you. Then I went around and shared with each of them why they mattered to me. It created a great atmosphere and encouraged communication.” -Shea, Columbus, GA
“I am a Paraeducator at a community school. My students have been giving out cards to random teachers and students. I am trying to show them that these 2 little words are powerful. The power to make others smile, the power to make others feel good and feel some worth. We are spreading joy at Riverview Elementary.” -Tammy, Halethorpe, MD
“I am a special education teacher and I know many of my coworkers need to have a big me up and to know they matter a whole bunch in the lives of our students but also in the lives of the adults they work with. There are days I am ready to throw in the towel and quit teaching and I know many of my coworkers are at that point sometimes. This has given me a new outlook when I am having a bad day.” -Michelle, Mount Clemens, MI
