We all have a favorite teacher, a person who changed our lives with encouragement, sound advice or a kind word.
For me it was Mrs. Zsoka, my fourth and fifth-grade teacher who helped develop my first love of writing. She urged me to follow my creative side, and was a great influence.
Rosemont, who is your favorite teacher? Do you know of a great educator you would like to recognize from the past or present?
May 8 is National Teacher Day, and the week of May 7 to May 11 is Teacher Appreciation Week. We want to celebrate the teachers in your life.
Here are some ways you can highlight the teachers who have impacted you or someone you know:
