There are people in
our lives that make an
impact on us.
A lot of those just
happen to be teachers.
Here is a chance to say
thanks.
Schools were closed, then opened, then closed and opened again. Kids were sent home to quarantine
and Zoom classrooms became all the norm. Teachers did as best they could. Parents, caught off guard, put in that
extra effort to support their children’s learning. Often it was an overwhelming experience. But parents and
teachers came to see each other in a new light.
Now with schools open and teachers back in class, it's time to reflect on what we've all been through and how
we've depended on each other. And now, on World Teachers Day, let's throw teachers a well-deserved 'thank you.'
"On behalf of Alberta's teachers, thank you, parents for all you have done over the last 18 months
to help support learning to continue."
– Jason Schilling, ATA President

“Every child deserves a champion – an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.” ~Rita Pierson

They have taken on such an enormous burden. They have had funding removed and supports removed but much more work added with out any thanks from the government.
You have had to deal with frustrated parents and stressed out kids . You have had to try teach on line while dealing with your family and kids.
You are heroes and you are doing great works despite our provincial government .
Keep up your amazing great work and vote for a public supportive
Government.
Thank you to the tremendous people who taught and still teach my own babies.
Thank you to the phenomenal colleagues who have withstood everything thrown at them in the last 18+ months. Who have pivoted so many times your heads are still spinning when the next pivot comes. The people who have run interference so kids can learn in the classroom, at home, blended, on the phone, for two weeks here and two weeks there. The brave souls who have shown up no matter what, ready to do it all again the next day, the next month, the next year.
You are my heroes!
