Thousands will take time to honor local teachers and acknowledge the contributions they make to our lives

Thank a teacher on National Teacher Day, May 9.  This year's theme is "Great Teachers Make Great Public Schools." The theme helps draw attention to the important role teachers have in making sure every child receives a quality public education. It also communicates the hard work teachers do each day to make public schools great for every child.

The National Education Association Web site  has helpful resources such as camera-ready artwork, suggested activities and sample news releases, proclamations and editorials.

While it does take a lot of people to make a school succeed, National Teacher Day focuses on the teachers who work to make public schools great places for students to succeed in life. The nation choose this day to specifically honor teachers and recognize the lasting contributions they make to our lives.

KNEA would like to acknowledge and thank the board, staff, and volunteers of Teachers Count for their support of America's teachers.
