Teacher Appreciation Week was celebrated annually across the nation from May 5th to May 9th to recognize the dedication, commitment, and hard work of teachers for their students, families and communities. Held during the first week of May, it is a time to express appreciation for our Beaufort County teachers and recognize their tremendous efforts to positively impact the lives and futures of our students.
During its second annual Teacher Appreciation Week celebration, the League of Women Voters of the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Area and the Beaufort SC joined together to recognize the Beaufort County teachers by installing updated Teacher Appreciation Week signs in front of the Beaufort County public and private schools on May 5th, the first day of Teacher Appreciation Week. The signs were installed by volunteer League of Women Voters members who fully support, respect, and appreciate our Beaufort County Teachers every day. Stars were added to the signs to reflect this year’s Teacher Appreciation Week theme: “Reach for the Stars.” The signs remained on display in front of the Beaufort County schools until Friday, May 9th, the last day of Teacher Appreciation Week.
In addition, this year, the Town Councils of Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, and Beaufort formally proclaimed the week of May 5th-9th as Teacher Appreciation Week 2025, expressing their appreciation and support of Beaufort County teachers and everything that they do for our students. Special Teacher Appreciation Week proclamation certificates were presented in honor of the hard work and dedication of our local Beaufort County teachers. The framed proclamation certificates were then presented to Beaufort County School District superintendent, Dr. Frank Rodriquez.
The goal of this special project in Beaufort County was to honor our Beaufort County teachers and let them know how much the Beaufort County Leagues of Women Voters understand the importance of everything that our teachers do for our Beaufort County students as well as their impactful positive effects on the futures of our students, their families and our local communities.
