Teacher Appreciation Day 2010

Mother Teresa says "There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread". And taking a quick look around our world, I agree.



We want our teachers to know that we don't take their support for granted. This year our events team put together a fantastic spread to show our teachers how thankful we are for their critical role in our Kids Hope program. We celebrated Teacher Appreciation Day on Tuesday, April 27th, by providing snacks and encouragement before a difficult staff meeting.



Kids Hope students worked with their mentors to write on colorful stars why they were thankful for their teachers. These stars brought many smiles to a meeting that involved budget cuts and state testing information for teachers. The Desserts from Portos were a real hit too!



By Wednesday morning I had a thank you note in my box. It said:
"Kids Hope
...where to begin?
Thank you so much for ALL you do. You are amazing!
The treats were delicious, beautiful, and very thoughtful.
You are the best!
Again....thank you for all your support and positive energy.
Gratefully-
Sylvia Florio, 5th grade teacher

Thanks to our Events Team: Sara Schommer, Carmela Calderon and Megan Blaze, for planning a great appreciation day! Thanks Kids Church staff for serving our teachers and helping them feel loved. I have to agree with Ms. Florio, you guys ARE the best!
