As many of you know I am a former teacher, and many of my clients and close friends are teachers.
Being that today is National Teachers’ Day, I just wanted to say, “Thank You.” Thank you for all you do to make this world a better place, and for dedicating your lives to educating our children.
I found this poem on the Internet and thought I would share it with all of you.

In This World
Thank you for being such wonderful teachers, exemplary role models, and caring people.

Thank you for not being afraid to treat students like real people.
Thank you for showing acceptance, approval, and appreciation.
These are all gifts that are so important to a student’s development and that your students will always remember, just as they will also remember you.
Words of encouragement, a little respect, simple gestures of kindness from a teacher promote the perfect climate for students to study, learn and grow.
Your attitude translates into a spirit of friendliness and good will towards others in an atmosphere of creative freedom, joy and ease, and you foster this feeling in your classroom.
I salute the good work you’ve done. I appreciate the people you are, and I thank you for your positive influence.
You have passed on invaluable instruction and wisdom and created pleasurable moments associated with learning that will always be sweet memories.
Thank you for answering the call to be teachers.
