Teacher Appreciation Week

Teachers are the heart and soul of any school and of any district.  They inspire students, and other teachers, each and every day.  And, their patience and dedication changes lives.  We are so very thankful our teachers have chosen Redwater ISD as the place they are choosing to make a difference.
 
Take the time this week - MAY 6-10 - to "THANK" a teacher for the invaluable asset they are to RISD, for the champion they are for our students and for the gift of teaching they share daily.
 
THANKS
for ALL that you will do today, and everyday in your classroom...
For making a million little split second
DECISIONS for the benefit of your students.
For putting your own needs on hold and
keeping them the FOCUS of your day.
For PLANNING for them long before today 
ever got rolling.
For CHANGING those plans because they didn't 
fit someone who needed a little extra.
For smiling, LAUGHING WITH THEM and reassuring
their efforts, trials and mistakes.
For placing your hand on a shoulder that
was EXACTLY what someone needed.
For getting down on the physical level of
your students because IT MATTERS.
For thinking of a new way to reach
someone who wasn't getting it.
You matter.
Yes - YOU MATTER!
