Resolution of Appreciation
Teachers

WHEREAS, teachers serve a classroom full of children at the same time and still find ways of individualizing instruction; and

WHEREAS, teachers unlock the potential of our children and help them discover their areas of strength; and

WHEREAS, teachers open children's minds to a world of ideas, knowledge, and dreams and equip them to be contributors to that world; and

WHEREAS, teachers help build in our students a strong foundation of character, citizenship, responsibility and leadership to keep democracy alive and make our world a better place to live; and

WHEREAS, the work and influence of teachers as listeners, explorers, role models, motivators, and mentors profoundly affect students for the rest of their lives.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Board of Education hereby establishes May, 2010 as Teacher Appreciation Month in all Haywood County Schools; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Board of Education expresses heartfelt appreciation to each teacher who works in our schools; and encourages all faculty, students, parents, and members of our community to join us in recognizing these individuals during this month for the vital role they play in the success of our school system and in the lives of students.
