After 32 years of teaching, no one has ever asked me if there was something I needed for my classroom. Thank you for caring about teachers and the students they teach. But did you know that teachers everywhere also provide shoes, clothing, lunch money, fees and a caring hand to their children. Yes, teachers consider the students in their classroom as their children.
Teachers see all the children that go without.
The foundation of our community is our teachers. They have our children 6 to 8 hours a day, if not more. Teachers mentor, encourage and provide hope for the future. A teacher cannot be expected to provide educated leaders for tomorrow without the proper tools of today. Adopting a teacher means adopting all children.
