This year you've taught virtually, you've taught in person. You've greeted kids in pajamas, in masks, or behind plexiglass. You've educated and nurtured children through zoom meetings, small groups, or face to face. This year you've done it all and amidst an ever-changing environment with new challenges every step of the way. Through the last two years, we have all learned what every educator has always known, just how vital the school system is to not only education but to both social, and emotional learning and how vital the school system is in our community. We at Region 18 ESC just want to thank you for the hours of work, teaching multiple classes in person and virtually. Taking on extra workloads, being substitutes, counselors, mentors, and most of all teachers.

We see you, and we thank you. You are truly appreciated!

- Your friends & admirers at Region 18 Education Service Center
