May is here, which means the school year is almost over. This time of year can be challenging—nice weather, excited students, and staff looking forward to a break all make for a busy, tiring month. This week is also Teacher Appreciation Week. We encourage anyone in our community—past or present students, families, or supporters—to reach out to a staff member (not necessarily a teacher) and thank them. Let them know how they’ve made a difference in your life or someone else’s. Even a small message or shared memory can mean a lot.
