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

Unlike many of us, their calling is not only 9-5, but rather 24-7, 365(6). They are passionate about their commitment to their students to succeed — it is a teacher’s calling for which they have spent years in preparation.
You have been working for the last year and a half under incredible conditions, and I think people and especially parents, are able to see all the things you have done to keep the childrens’ education as a priority.
Be blessed and know you are appreciated beyond words!
Teaching is not about money but a desire to help prepare the new generation for the world to come !!
God bless and give you the strength to carry on.
