World Teacher Day
On October 5th, the entire globe celebrates World Teacher Day. This is a day to honor the way that teachers “are transforming education but also reflect on the support they need to fully deploy their talent and vocation, and to rethink the way ahead for the profession globally” (UNESCO).
In Ohio, we are proud of the teachers we have, and we appreciate their commitment to growing and changing to best serve our students and our community.

In anticipation of World Teacher Day, we asked a few of our students this question:
Why are teachers important?

Because that they have to watch kids at school, and they actually do a lot of fun stuff, and I like that they have a bunch of toys. They bring us a lot of toys. [Ms. Ryan] teaches me what letters begin with and how to spell.
Mia – kindergarten

Because they help you learn.
logan – 4th Grade

Because they help us learn things our parents or grandparents can’t.
Samantha – 7th grade

Because they always uplift their students. They encourage us to do great things in life, and they always want us to do the best we can.
