Thank You Teachers

Dear Ms. Coates,

While it’s been many years since my daughter was in your first grade class, I still remember your welcoming

presence on the playground each morning as the children lined up for school. As I walked my daughter up to

join you in line, you would bend down so that your face was on her level, give her a lovely smile, say a kind

word and take her hand. Those simple, kind gestures made all the difference to a shy child and her mother.

And I know that same love and spirit infused all your teaching.

Thank you for all that you give your students each and every day.

Best,

Megan Scribner

We want to celebrate the spirit and courage of the millions of teachers

who each and every day, despite many challenges and obstacles, strive to “lift a lamp” in their

classrooms. We want to create a wave of gratitude that lifts all teachers. We want to create a

place where people can lift up teachers not tear them down, to celebrate not denigrate!

The Thank You, Teachers Project creates an online space where people can post thank you

letters to the special teachers in their life. By publicly thanking these teachers – by recognizing

the exceptional and difficult work they do each and every day – we honor and celebrate all

teachers!
