How could any of us have prepared ourselves for the events of that memorable Saturday and Sunday? As I think back about the hours of endless rain which resulted in loss of life, homes, businesses and belongings, I am so impressed with the number of volunteers who willingly acted in heroic ways to assist family, friends and even strangers.

May is filled with days which have been set aside for observances- Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day and others. One of the “others” is National Teacher Day or Teacher Appreciation Day. It is observed on the first Tuesday of the first full week in May. This year’s event takes place on May 4. According to the National Education Association website, it is on National Teacher Day that thousands of communities take time to honor their local educators and acknowledge the crucial role teacher’s play in making sure every student receives a quality education.
