Happy Teacher Appreciation Week at BPMS!! :)
Thank you for all that you do every single day for our students, your colleagues, your families and our BPMS community. Your hard work, dedication and endless hours thinking about how to meet the needs of every student at BPMS is noticed and APPRECIATED.
Every single member of our staff provides a special contribution to the complicated puzzle of meeting the educational needs of our students. Whether you are: teaching a specific phonics lesson to a small group, making a nutritious meal, sitting on the floor of the sensory space working through a challenging moment, sitting next to a student reframing a math problem, teaching a social cognition group, eating a snack and writing a comic in the front office, hosting a recycle rally challenge, leading a complicated IEP meeting, reassessing an outdoor space for safety, doing a morning check in with a student to set the day up for success, making a hard call to a parent, teaching an important reading lesson and showing students how to express their opinion, substitute teaching and being connected to every student, and so much more... your work and commitment to our students is appreciated every minute of every day.
Thank you for all that you do. Although you may not see the outcome of your hard work today, it will happen in the years to come. We are part of the essential building blocks for our students. It may happen in middle school or high school or even beyond. Your influence may feel invisible today, it's not, it just hasn't fully grown or surface YET. It will :)
I am grateful every day to work with such a talented and committed group of educators.
with appreciation and gratitude for all that you do for the children ~
Sally
