Huntington
Learning Center Celebrates National Teacher Day
Ankeny,
Iowa 4/1/2017–
On May 9, 2017, the Huntington Learning Center of Ankeny
joins schools, students, parents and communities to celebrate
National Teacher Day. This annual occasion is part of Teacher
Appreciation Week, sponsored by the National Education Association
(NEA), and honors educators for the important work they do and the
lasting impact they have on the lives of so many.
“We’re
so happy to celebrate National Teacher Day at Huntington,” says Dr.
Dennis Shaw
of
the Ankeny
Huntington Learning Center. “Teachers are dedicated to helping
children become independent and successful, striving every day to
ensure they grow and learn. We celebrate the wonderful teachers in
our community with whom we collaborate to help students achieve their
goals.”
Dr.
Shaw
says
that students, parents and others can pay tribute to the teachers in
their lives in many ways. Dr. Shaw
offers
the following suggestions:
- Write a letter to a teacher who made a difference in your life.
- Have your children write notes about why they appreciate their teachers and schools.
- Organize a coffee and donuts table at your workplace for teachers in the community to stop by throughout the morning of National Teacher Day.
- Buy flowers for a teacher in your life or drop some by a school to leave in the teacher’s lounge.
- Hang banners outside of your workplace to recognize teachers.
- Bring treats to a school in your community to distribute to its teachers.
- Surprise a teacher with a gift card to a local coffee shop.
- Write a note to your children’s teachers about a few ways they have grown this school year and note how their teachers have fostered that growth.
National Teacher Day
started in 1953 when Eleanor Roosevelt embarked on a campaign to
proclaim a National Teacher Day. Congress declared March 7, 1980, as
National Teacher Day, and in 1985, the NEA voted to move the event to
May.
Dr.
Shaw
added that
Huntington praises its teachers on this day of celebration.
“Huntington teachers care so much about students’ success, and
many of our teachers are current or former school teachers as well,”
Dr. Shaw
says. “On
National Teacher Day and always, we appreciate their commitment and
passion. Because of them, children who come to Huntington for help
make great gains in school and build confidence to last them a
lifetime.”
