Today, Tuesday May 8 2018, is known as Teacher Appreciation Day. In 1980, Congress declared the first Tuesday in March to be National Teacher Day until 1985, when the National Parent Teacher Association established the first full week of May to be known as Teacher Appreciation Day.
On Friday, the Sparta PTO will host a brunch for teachers and staff in the building.
It's vital that as students, we take a day to recognize our teachers. Education goes beyond books, lectures, and doing work after hours. It leads to success, and this is evident as college admissions roll in, acceptances to summer programs fall in our laps, Student of the Month nominees are released, and countless of other benefits are seen.
The teachers at Sparta High School are the backbone for our success, and yes, sometimes even the struggle. This is for a good reason - they want to see growth in you, the student. All of the teachers are happy to be here and are here because they want to. Our teachers at Sparta High teach us lessons, but often that lesson is something that a textbook could never touch the surface of. Rather, they teach us lessons about us as people, about morals, and establishing that "I can and I will" attitude.
Today, thank the teacher that goes above and beyond class. Smile at the teacher whose class you may be struggling in. Acknowledge the fact that teachers are people, too.
