Happy Teacher's Day!

It's National Teachers Appreciation Day (and week) and even though I believe teachers should be thanked and appreciated daily, it's also good to take a minute to celebrate these selfless and caring people in our midst.

Happy Teachers Day, wonderful teachers!

I see you dragging school projects to board meetings; I see you gasping at the sight of your kids falling on the ground during recess; I see you gently correcting your students when their answers are not quite accurate. I see your classrooms lovingly decorated, a sanctuary where kids can breath easily, regardless of what goes on in their homes. The work you do is priceless and exhausting, and you do it every day with a smile on your face and love in your heart.

To all the teachers in Monterey County and beyond, have a great day! Know that I'm your biggest and most humble fan of them all.
