Local Huntington Learning Centers Honor Local Educators on National Teacher Day
(firmenpresse) - ORADELL, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 03/22/12 -- On May 8, 2012, Huntington Learning Centers are joining thousands of schools, students and communities to celebrate National Teacher Day, honoring educators and the important role they play in society.
Eileen Huntington, co-founder of Huntington Learning Center, says there are many ways for schools and community members to celebrate their local teachers and show their appreciation, including the following (as suggested by the National Education Association [NEA], which sponsors the annual celebration):
Work with your local school to sponsor an essay contest on "A Teacher to Remember."
Hang congratulatory signs in your business or school recognizing teachers and their important work in your community.
Invite a local newspaper reporter or TV news personality to spend a day as a classroom observer, and encourage him or her to publish or air his or her observations on a day in the life of a teacher.
Buy books portraying teachers as mentors and give them as gifts to the great teachers you know.
Host an event such as a luncheon or an ice cream social honoring teachers in your community or at your school.
Make National Teacher Day a community service day to bring together your community.
Invite teachers to a before-school coffee and pastries celebration at a local business or in the school cafeteria.
Thank an educator by sending a letter or card to the NEA's Teacher Thank-You Project, c/o NEA Public Relations; P.O. Box 66458; Washington, D.C. 20035. Learn more at .
"Every year on National Teacher Day, we honor the individuals who shape our children's futures and motivate them to achieve academic success and reach their potential," said Huntington. "It is a day near and dear to our hearts at Huntington, and we encourage everyone in our community to recognize the great teachers they know -- today and always."
Huntington applauded the Huntington Learning Center teachers. "Our teachers are passionate about helping children do better in school -- many of them working in the evenings after their regular teaching or other jobs," said Huntington. "We are so grateful not only to our own teachers at Huntington, but to teachers everywhere who dedicate their lives to helping children learn."
