Say ‘thanks’ to a teacher

Not only is it Teacher Appreciation Week across the country and in Middletown, but tomorrow is National Teacher Day, according to a press release I just received from the National Education Association.

The Middletown board voted last Monday on a proclamation to name this week Staff Appreciation Week.

The NEA is partnering with the National Parent Teacher Association to create the Nation’s Largest Teacher Thank You Card project. The NEA and the NPTA are encouraging people to send a card via U.S. mail or online.

I don’t have e-cards for you guys but we can recognize local teachers in the comments. And what the heck? I’ll start.

I had a lot of great teachers, but if I were going to narrow it down, I would choose Mr. Gearon and Mr. Haponek from my high school, Stebbins, near Dayton. They were two of the first people to convince me I might be able to convince someone to pay me to write for a living someday.

I meet wonderful, dedicated local educators every day and hear from plenty of parents about how wonderful their kids’ teachers or even their former teachers are.

So let’s hear it. What educator would you like to thank?
