Every year, teachers dedicate their heart, soul, and countless after-school hours, often supplementing from their own salaries, to nurture and educate the students who enter their classrooms. As the holidays approach, it’s the perfect time to show appreciation for these devoted individuals shaping our future leaders. While finishing your holiday shopping, don’t forget to include your child’s teacher on the “nice” list.
