You are awesome because…

1) You give love, attention, and acceptance to all students.

2) You help their students succeed academically, even when that takes extra time to alter a lesson, one-on-one time, or staying after hours to make sure they understand.

3) You make students feel special. You talk with them in the corridor and say, “Hi,” even when they are no longer in your class.

4) You see the potential in every student and do everything within your power to bring out their best.

5) You try your best to understand your students’ needs, and then sacrifice your needs for the needs of your students. A great teacher is one of the biggest blessings in a child’s life.

6) You’re creative. Even if you’ve taught the same lesson for 10 years, you constantly improve yourself and come up with new and creative ways to teach.

7) You are selfless. The entirety of your work revolves around building leaders for tomorrow.

8) You comfort those in deepest need. The little girl who just bumped her head and tripped and fell on her way to the teacher for a hug or the teen who just needed to talk through what was going on at home.

9) You teach important character traits like kindness, patience, honesty, integrity, and the value of hand washing.

10) You believe in your students and show them each day by simply being there and helping kids use their passions and their strengths to make the world better.

Then even after all this, your school has a visit from The Award Winning School Food Showdown, and you put your all into taking the role of Chef in a Ready, Steady, Cook style show in front of 200 students – all in the name of Healthy Eating.

You are awesome. Thank you for your hard work.
