I am very thankful for all of my daughters' teachers and mentors over the years. Especially the two I deemed Barnes and Noble: Hill and Kitchens, our former 6th grade GT Team. I think of you often.
I know you teachers out there have much to be thankful for... but please remember there are a lot of parents out there who are thankful for YOU. You often spend more time with their children than they do, and they are grateful for how you teach them, inspire them, and love them.
There are so many good kids in our schools! Sweet kids who make good choices. But it’s easy for the adults in the building to get distracted, discouraged, or overwhelmed by the challenging kids.
It’s extra important to recognize and value the students doing the right thing!
