Thank you, Limestone teachers for your endless dedication and passion. And to all the incredible teachers who inspire, guide, and push us beyond our limit, we celebrate the remarkable difference you make every day! #ThankATeacher
Mrs. Natalie Lanser is who I think of when asked to recognize a teacher that has made an impact in my life. As my son's 4th grade teacher, she made him feel comfortable and valued in her classroom. Three years later, he still lists Mrs. Lanser as his favorite. It's easy to understand why. Natalie took the time to build a relationship with my son, and get to know him beyond just how he can academically perform. Thank you for touching so many lives in a positive way Mrs. Lanser! - Jacqui Jones
And the winner of our Teacher Appreciation Wellness Gift basket is Melissa Edwards from Illini Bluffs. Melissa was presented with the basket when she visited the GMB Spring Celebration on Thursday! Congratulations to Melissa Edwards!
Appreciating what a teacher does is easy, they do everything!
Our Adult Education Teachers who provide instruction at the Peoria County Jail, Logan Center, Proctor Center and the Friendship House are AMAZING! They have Lion Strength and Lamb Approach when working with their students who often haven't been in a classroom for years. Some did not have positive experiences with learning, but our Adult Education Teachers don't let that hold their students back! They provide the structure, the extra help, the caring that makes it possible for their students to be successful and CHANGE THEIR LIFE!
Thanks, Sandy, Sue S, Sue B, and Shelly C for all you do for our students!
Shout out to Ms. Hammond!!
When my son, Dawson entered 5th grade at Lindbergh Middle School back in 2014, he was a very angry kid mainly due to the recent death of his older brother, Deveraux, who also attended Lindbergh for Middle School. While all of Dawson’s teachers at Lindbergh understood that he was grieving, Ms. Hammond understood that he needed a space to just be Dawson and not be Deveraux’s little brother. Our family will be forever grateful to this amazing teacher for being so much more than just a teacher for Dawson, she was a life saver right at the time that my son was drowning!! - Kristie R. Hubbard
The Regional Superintendent wants to extend her well wishes for Teacher Appreciation Week to her daughter, Kate Olcott. She is a first year special education teacher at Pleasant Valley. The first years of teaching are pure survival. She has had a lot on her plate to manage, but she has made it! She is very proud of her!
The Regional Superintendent wants to go back to her roots for this teacher appreciation post. Her first teaching job was at the Valeska Hinton Early Childhood Education Center teaching for Peoria Public Schools. After starting in 1993, along came Whitney Milam and Val Ray. Nothing beats old teacher friends that have laughed, cried and supported you for more than 25 years. We take this picture during the first week of school each year.
We may look a little different, but some things have stayed the same. As the Regional Superintendent states, "There is no way that I could've survived this career without the support of these 2 teachers. They are on the front lines taking care of our youngest students each day. Sheroes!!"
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
Not all heroes wear capes! Some wear Peoria High gear!
The Regional Superintendent would like to share her appreciation for her husband who is the athletic director for Peoria High School. Prior to serving in this role, Brien Dunphy was a special education teacher. Serving in both Farmington and Peoria Public Schools, he has given countless hours in Peoria County to provide students opportunities to showcase their talents. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
They wanted to change the world; so they became school nurses! Happy School Nurses Day!
The Regional Superintendent wants to appreciate her brother who teaches at Dunlap Middle School! Mr. Crider has been an educator and coach for over 25 years. She and her brother followed in her father's footsteps who retired after more than 36 years of service to the Dunlap School District. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
Today, May 7, is National Teacher Appreciation Day, a day to celebrate and honor the commitment and sacrifices educators make.
To all Teachers, THANK YOU!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week from ROE 48!
