To be a good teacher requires a great strength in character. No one who is weak of heart made it past a short time in the classroom. You hung in there for your students and your students and because of that, we also became more strong. Thanks for getting up every day and coming to school. We know it wasn’t easy, but you did it and you did it well. Happy Birthday on behalf of all your grateful students”.
