Monday, May 16th No School for Students - Teacher Inservice See you Tuesday!

Do you know a teacher/staff that has positively impacted or made a difference in your student’s life? Take a minute and let them know. Ideas might be: *An email from you to a teacher/staff telling them why you appreciate them. *It could be a communication that is individualized or even something more general. *Topics could include inspiring your student’s interest in the subject, strong communication by the teacher/staff, interesting ways that engaged your student with their learning, or how well the teacher/staff has developed a rapport with your student. This communication could also be from your student to a teacher/staff that has positively impacted them! It’s little things that can make a big difference. Thank you again for being partners in this journey for your student(s)! #teacherappreciationweek2022 #ghswistrong #ghswicares
