Hi FRIENDS,

Today, I want to offer a very simple FRIENDS Friday message: THANK YOU!

As we look forward to the Teacher Appreciation Week ahead, I am going to jump start the appreciation with a recognition of how inspired I am by the work that you do, day in and day out.

Many of our values come to mind when I think about the incredible impact you have on the children in your care. But, if I were to choose one of them, as I think about TEACHER appreciation, I would stress just how Not Daycare you really are. As that value reminds us, we are educators… and so much more.

Thanks, passionate educators, for living our values! I hope your week ahead is a special one. But, more than that, I hope you leave that week always remembering that what you do really matters. You make a difference.

Mark
