Dear Alumnae and Friends,
This week is a special time to remember teachers who have inspired us. During National Teacher Appreciation Week (May 2-8) and on Teacher Appreciation Day on May 5, teachers get the extra credit they deserve. The AADC recognizes the many alumnae who are teachers and salutes them for their dedication and service to others. Think especially about the special teacher in your life who has made a lasting impression on you as a student or as a colleague.
While it is always important to recognize how much teachers make a difference, this past year is especially significant. Educators everywhere have persevered despite the challenges amid the pandemic. Many have worked tirelessly to move their teaching online or to a hybrid format. Through remote learning, they have continued to make an impact in the lives of those they teach.
This week is our opportunity to say thank you to those that play or have played a formative role in our lives through education. In addition to teachers, we salute all of our alumnae who are school staff and who work in school administration. We would like to hear from alumnae educators out there! Please email us at douglassalumnae@douglassalumnae.org to let us know about you. Reach out and bring a smile to an educator you know.
In Sisterhood,
Valerie L. Anderson ’81, MBA
Executive Director, Associate Alumnae of Douglass College
