It bears repeating over and over: “Thank you Friday Harbor teachers!”

As we celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Week May 5-9, we want to give a huge thank you to the dedicated teachers and staff that make our island children thrive. Our schools may be small compared to many, but success and true community overflows in so many big ways.

As author Helen Caldicott is quoted as saying, “Teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth.”

We are truly grateful to those that teach and inspire our children.
