Please take a moment this week to let your child's teacher know how much you appreciate the job he/she does with your child every day!
In last week's Walker County Messenger, LaFayette Woman's Club Education Department Chair, Maggie Stultz urged the community to pause and say thanks to teachers during this week of recognition.

Parent and teacher organizations have established Teacher Appreciation Week the first full week in May of each year.
Teacher Appreciation Week is a great time to let teachers know how they have touched you and your children’s lives. Very few professionals influence as many people as teachers do. National Teachers’ Week is a good time to learn about the contributions educators make to our community every day. Teacher Appreciation Week is an opportunity for all of us to reach out and say thanks.
