It's Teacher Appreciation Week! Time to "Honor a Teacher".

Teachers appreciate being appreciated, for teacher appreciation is their highest award. - William Prince

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 7-11! Don't forget to Honor A Teacher this week! The Beverly Education Foundation's Annual Honor A Teacher drive promotes the honoring of “teachers” to include all exemplary educators who have made a positive difference in the life of a Beverly public school student. Funds raised go directly to fund teacher/parent grants, which are awarded each spring. "Honor a Teacher" who made a difference in your life. We all remember some wonderful educators who made an impact on us. Recognize a guidance counselor, librarian, art/music/media/gym teacher, a coach, an administrator, a specialist or paraprofessional who you remember helped you learn, encouraged you in academics or career and made your days at school easier.

Choose from 3 ways to ‘Honor a Teacher’ this school year:
- $25 ‘Honor a Teacher’ Certificate and Letter -With a donation of $25 or more made in the name of a special educator, a certificate will be sent to the individual indicating both the donation in their name as well as how important they have been in the student’s or your life. Please attach comments to your Award Form about why you chose to honor this teacher. A copy will also be sent to the Beverly Public Schools to communicate how important that person is to Beverly Public Schools.

- $10 ‘Honor a Teacher’ Note Card - With a donation of $10 or more made in the name of the teacher honored, a card will be sent to the teacher indicating your thanks for all the time, effort and caring they have given your student throughout the school year.

- $15 ‘In Memoriam’ Note - A thoughtful way to let the families of a deceased teacher, staff member or student know that their loved ones have made a difference in Beverly Public School education (donation of $15 or more).

Remember that no matter which level of support you choose – every dollar counts. Donations can be made throughout the school year. All donations are tax deductible; matching gifts are welcomed & appreciated.
