To celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, students at Foothills Elementary delivered notes of appreciation to their favorite past, present, and future teachers. Teachers were surprised as students visited their classroom with notes that read “take this to the greatest teacher on the planet,” “take this to a teacher you really want to have someday,” or “take this to the most nice, helpful grown-up at Foothills.” The simple notes were a great way for students to show gratitude for the educators who have helped shape them.
