During this special week, it's important to show appreciation by giving thanks, spreading love, and promoting kindness. Engaging in small acts of gratitude, such as notes, gifts, or verbal acknowledgments, can make a significant impact and uplift the spirits of those who work tirelessly to educate and support students.
