Teacher Appreciation Party

Sunday afternoon there was an "appreciation party"  for our wonderful Snake Valley teachers. This was a small way of showing our gratitude in all they do. The special occasion was held at the Border Inn; where a lot of people showed up in support! Of course, where there is a party there is great food & great company!

We love our teachers!

Nomi handed out special pins to June Rowley, Heather Yacapraro, Cecelia Phillips, and Leslie White for all their many dedicated years of service.......

Here is an example of one of the pins:

Kathy Rountree presented Heather with a wonderful, framed sketch ............

The Best Teachers

Teachers open up young minds,
showing them the wonders of the intellect
and the miracle
of being able to think for themselves.
A teacher exercises
the mental muscles of students,
stretching and strengthening,
so they can make challenging decisions,
find their way in the world,
and become independent.
The best teachers care enough
To gently push and prod students
to do their best
and fulfill their potential.
You are one of those.
Thank you.
