GBCS will celebrate Teacher Appreciation next week, May 8th - 12th, 2023!

We appreciate our teachers and staff each and every day, but we don't always know how to show them! Administrators will be attempting to show educators some extra attention this coming week in honor of Teacher Appreciation Day, Week, and Month. We'd love for families to join in and show their appreciation, as well!

Ideas for honoring your teachers this month:

A drawing, a card, a note, or just an extra hug from a student will help make their day! Parents/guardians, send them a compliment in their email or leave a message in their mailbox in the office! You can set a great example by showing your appreciation, too! This is a great practice of #positivityinaction! 

Teachers give their energy, heart, knowledge, guidance, and care to students. Their work day doesn't usually end at the last bell and they carry concerns about their students everywhere they go. They coach, advise, tutor, and mentor. We want to say THANK YOU teachers and staff for ALL you do at Grand Blanc Community Schools and beyond. We see you!

Submit a video to the Michigan Department of Education about your favorite educators!: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSctm91oVsHRrnABwP3jcJM4wbJcayLHN3RJScpfvckb3YycEQ/viewform

if you'd like, email your photo or video of you showing your thanks to GB teachers to communications@gbcs.org and we might share it, too!
