In an article on "The Keyword", Rebecka Peterson shares an open letter to educators across the U.S. with a message of resilience, gratitude and humanity. We share her sentiments. The article begins with saying

 

"Dear Teachers,

 

Teacher Appreciation Week is here, and I’m honored to thank each of you. It’s been a tough three years navigating post-pandemic learning. Our kids have changed, and so have we. Still, there are some things that remain constant: our belief that every kid deserves access to a high-quality education, our commitment to our students’ well-being, and our deep-seated belief that education is the key out of generational poverty."
