Teachers:
* Spend approximately 1/3 of their salary on resources for their classrooms... 1/2 in their first year
* Teach the language of thought, morals, values, socially accepted behavior, social interaction, government systems, legal systems, and independence
* Spend tens of thousands of hours each year to make sure that 30 children receive the highest quality education possible
* Spend more hours on work-related tasks than any other profession... even the ones with 12-hour shifts
* Want a simple thank you most of all

News:: “Teachers can instruct our students in math, science, and language, but more than that, teachers can give our children the will to continue learning for the rest of their lives. The gift of never-ending education is one for which we cannot show enough gratitude—but we can certainly try. During PTA Teacher Appreciation Week this May, and beyond, please join us in recognizing the imperative and inspiring work our teachers do every day. Working together, teachers, parents, and communities can make every child’s potential a reality.”
--PTA National President, Jan Harp Domene

The gift teachers would most like to receive is a simple “thank you.”

Join our group and add your words (and videos and pictures) of thanks.
