📚✨ Celebrating Mrs. Jones for Teacher Appreciation Week ✨📚
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, we proudly recognize Mrs. Jones, our incredible 5th-grade teacher, for the lasting impact she has made on her students. Today, Assistant Superintendent Peek and Principal Findlay surprised Mrs. Jones with two heartfelt letters written by former students—who are now graduating high school! 🎓 These students reflected on how her guidance shaped their journey, instilling perseverance, a strong work ethic, and the confidence to take on the real world.
As the saying goes, "The influence of a great teacher can never be erased."
Mrs. Jones, thank you for being a teacher who inspires beyond the classroom! 💙🍎
