Greetings,

 Celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week!

Kudos to all Minneapolis Teachers!

You work your hearts out for students, you give of your own time and money, you step up when asked, you provide pro-active leadership when needed, and you continuously build relationships with students, colleagues, families and the community.

You act with dignity and professionalism on a daily basis and are dedicated to helping the world be a better place for all.  You truly do build the future and the future needs you.  From you and through you come the good and lasting things throughout the history of human culture.  Teachers are the bedrock of society.

And, while most of you go unnoticed on a daily basis, you need to always remember that your quiet, patient, and caring perseverance with students is one of the finest gifts you can give.

YOU are amazing!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

With Warm Regards,

Lynn Nordgren, President
Minneapolis Federation of Teachers, Local 59
