Chief Christopher Maguy, on behalf the Dighton Fire Department, would like to thank and recognize teachers as part of Teacher Appreciation Week.
President Joe Biden has declared Tuesday, May 3 as National Teacher Appreciation Day in the United States, and May 1-7 as National Teacher Appreciation Week, as a way to recognize the hard work and dedication of teachers nationwide and to observe the time by supporting teachers through appropriate activities, events, and programs.
“Educators are the backbone of our society as they help shape the minds of our country’s future,” Chief Maguy said. “I encourage the community to join us in thanking our Dighton school community educators for continuously going above and beyond to meet the needs of their students.”
Teacher Appreciation Week is held annually during the first month of May. During the week, the National Education Association encourages families and those who support education to recognize teachers in a number of ways:
- Text CELEBRATE to 48744 to receive periodic texts throughout the week that remind you how special educators are.
- #THANKATEACHER on social media. Celebrate the educators in your life by sharing a message on social media, tagging @NEAToday, and using the hashtags #WeHearYou and #ThankATeacher.
- Send words of encouragement in with your student for not only their teacher, but for teachers in their entire school.
