Happy Teacher Appreciation Week

Please take some time to thank a teacher this week for "Teacher Appreciation Week!"  While parents have the greatest impact on our lives, teachers are another group of people who have the opportunity to influence students.  The saying it takes a village to raise a child is more needed today than ever before.  Here at Lester Prairie in my first year as the K-12 principal I have seen our teachers and staff do many great things, from coming early or staying after school to help students out, to attending the prom, helping students who are having bad days, listening to students and their ideas, playing dodgeball against students during homecoming, communicating with parents and families, and much, much more.  The amount of heart and soul the staff as a whole pours into our students and making sure we are doing everything we can to create successful students is very evident when you walk down our halls and into our classrooms.  The largest group of these would be the teachers who lead our students to this success and provide multiple avenues of learning each and every day.  I remind you again to thank a teacher for being a positive influence on your life and for being someone who comes to the school each day with doing everything possible for your success.

THANK YOU TEACHERS!!!!!
