to those who teach

...The beginning of May. A few more weeks of school, the weather is turning warmer, the boys are getting to bed later and later...summer is almost here!

It is Teacher Appreciation Week this week. This morning we had to leave the house early so we could buy flowers for the boys' teachers. We would have made it to Rhett's school with plenty of time to spare except we had to go back to the house because Rhett was wearing the wrong shoes. (It is PE day--only tennis shoes will do). So we barely made it to Rhett's school and was a little late to Noah's. I will be so glad when Noah goes to the same school as Rhett!

Think about the people who have shaped your life, who have encouraged you, who have given you what you need to succeed in life. Chances are most of those people are teachers. Thank you to all the teachers out there. You really are special and amazing and appreciated. Even on the days that you don't think you are. :)

With the exception of a few "yucky" teachers, I have had some AWESOME teachers over the years that I have such fond memories of. I especially remember my 2nd, 4th, 8th grade history,and high school AP History teachers. And then several in college who were really wonderful! I think it's so important to let them know how important they are!
