Celebrate MPS educators! Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6-10, when the entire nation salutes the dedicated educators who make a vital difference in children’s lives every day.
Educators affect students’ intellectual growth and so much more, and their influence shapes the adult that students become. The effect they have is lifelong.
