Message from the President
Message from the President
Friday is the first day of April. And while many know it as April Fools Day, it is also known for something far more important: Paraeducator Appreciation Day. The Paraeducators in our district our second to none. Over the last several years, they have been pulled in many directions all at once. They offer so much to our schools, our teachers, and our students. I have said this many times before, but I would have never survived my second year teaching without the dedicated and skilled paraeducator who worked beside me each day. Our paras are often overlooked and often feel underappreciated. It shouldn't take a special day to honor these colleagues, but I want to make sure we celebrate and honor them. To our paraeducators, thank you for your tireless work and the value you bring to our schools.
