Letter to the Editor: In appreciation of educators

By ALTHEA STANLEY

Monroe County Retired Educators Association

Dear appreciated Monroe County educators:

We believe, like you, that every child is entitled to quality PUBLIC education.

We continue to support you — some by directly volunteering in our schools — all by publicly voicing our support in our communities.

We appreciate your commitment, as each year you are faced with the task of doing more with less.

We know that it takes an entire team — bus drivers, cooks, maintenance, teachers’ aides, teachers, and administrative staff — to give our students the opportunity to fulfill their potential.

We suspect that you often don’t know when your smile, compliment, or words of encouragement have turned a student’s day around. They do!

We know that you sometimes give up personal time and free time to make the school experience better for your students.

We know that you all keep working on improving measures to give our children a safe learning environment.

We are proud of our PUBLIC school communities.

We are proud of you.

We thank you!
