Beverly 'Honor A Teacher' Campaign Launched Amid Appreciation Week

BEVERLY, MA — The Beverly Education Foundation is looking to celebrate local educators as part of Teacher Appreciation Week with the launch of its annual "Honor a Teacher" campaign.

The BEF is looking for community support to fund grants awarded each spring to the teachers who make a positive difference in the lives of Beverly Public School students.

"We all remember some wonderful educators who made an impact on us," the Foundation said. "Recognize a guidance counselor, librarian, art/music/media/gym teacher, coach, administrator, specialist, nurse, coach, bus driver, custodian, or paraprofessional who you remember that helped you learn, encouraged you in academics, career or athletics and made your days at school easier.

"Teams can be honored as well, so feel free to recognize your students' fantastic team of teachers."

The campaign begins this week as part of National Teacher Appreciation Week.

Those supporting the campaign can choose from 3 easy ways to 'Honor a Teacher' this school year:

• $30 'Honor a Teacher' Certificate and Letter
• $20 'In Memoriam' Note
• $10 'Honor a Teacher' Note Card
