Letter: This week, I’m thankful for teachers

As my husband and I walked past Midvalley Elementary at 7:30 a.m. Monday morning, I noticed a teacher walking toward the school from the parking lot. She had on a large, filled backpack and was carrying several bags besides — a heavy load by any standard.

A sense of gratitude filled my heart as I thought about all of the effort, planning and preparation that she must have put into that day’s lesson and for the many other teachers who do the same to make their classes interesting and relevant for their students. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers that make a difference.
