If you can read this, thank a teacher!

You may have seen the bumper sticker: "If you can read this, thank a teacher." You probably have read or heard of Hillary Clinton's book "It takes a Village." Educating productive citizens is of paramount importance to the perpetuation of our democracy. Teachers and education support personnel, in conjunction with parents and other community members, play a vital role in preparing young people for the future. 

Today is Teacher and Education Staff Appreciation Day. We are so lucky in the Genesee School District to have outstanding teachers and support staff. We are also very lucky to have an education-minded community who supports their school system.

Our students are number one in the minds and hearts of all of the employees of your school district. If you get a chance, please thank them.
