I had a dynamic, dedicated history teacher in high school. Even then, I knew that she was a gem, but I never expressed my appreciation to her (I was, after all, a teen-ager). So this week I finally wrote a note that is long, long overdue to Mrs. Merle Levine at Locust Valley High School. Wouldn't it be great if we brought the Post Office to its knees on National Teacher Day? Certainly everyone has a teacher somewhere in their past who deserves a thank you note!

My daughter is two and in day care. Her teachers work tirelessly to make each day fun and educational, and give each child personalized attention. And they do all this for not a whole lot of money. To play off the theme of National Teacher Day, today is Teacher Appreciation Day at the center. Parents brought in food for teachers to enjoy during lunch. It took me 30 minutes to make a dessert - and that small act contributed to my kiddo's teachers feeling appreciated. You don't need to make a dessert to let your child's caregivers know how much you appreciate them. Write a quick note, give a little holiday gift, or just make an effort to say "thanks" more often. They deserve it! Don’t forget to support your young child’s educators, too! My daughter is two and in day care.
