We love our teachers!

1919 Pulitzer Prize winner Henry Adams said:

"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops."

We all have had teachers in our lives who changed our way of thinking, encouraged us when we were down or saw in us a special "something" that no one else did. May 5th is the first day of teacher appreciation week so it is a great time to tell our favorite teachers how they changed our lives. Click on COMMENTS below to share your teacher's name and special story.
