MMSD Retirees -- A Season of Thanks

In case you haven't seen it yet, here is a link to the list of MMSD teachers, administrators and staff who will be retiring at the end of the year. Take a look and see if maybe your child's favorite elementary school teacher -- or perhaps your own favorite secretary -- might be there. If so, consider taking a moment to send them a note of thanks.

As the 2007-2008 school year winds down, it is the season for saying "thank you." "Thank you" to all of the teachers and other District staff to whom we feel genuinely and deeply grateful. Does your school host a "teacher appreciation" event? If so, make sure your family participates. Or consider making a contribution to your school's PTO -- especially if there is a special fund for classroom teacher support -- or one to your own teacher's classroom supply fund. (We all know teachers purchase classroom supplies with their own money.) Or just take the time to write a note of thanks, perhaps encouraging your child to do the same. We have found that it feels good to end the year on a note of gratitude.

Whatever else I may say about the Madison school district and particular MMSD administrators, I also think we are blessed to have some absolutely incredible teachers in our schools. Our hats are off to each and every one of them.
