From Furnicom, Teachers Thank You

Dear Fellow Teachers,

It’s Tomorrow, Tomorrow is the start. The start of a week full of thankfulness for your endeavors which has brought our children and yours a future of knowledge and goodness for them and our world.

This year is quite different. It was hard for you. It was hard for your student, their parent, and everyone around. An unfortunate event had happened that changed our lives into something we hadn’t gone through before. We thought we were invincible. We thought that we could surpass anything that came across us. I guess we didn’t know.

Covid-19 came out nowhere. Some say we could have lessened it, stopped it, or that we could have done something more. My friends what has come is here. Let us not put ourselves in the past of what had already been.

Remember, it was just a couple of months ago when we used to make our way to school, open the door, and see all the students. We had activities. We had discussions. We could see ourselves and smile for one another. It was just a couple of months ago that we could hear a bell ring, students run and scream, and cheers for our school team. It was just a couple of months ago remember.

We’re here now in our homes. Doing this thing called virtual teaching and those of that sort. It’s good enough, we could all say that it makes a class. That’s what’s best. Though, our students became a screen and so did we. Our schedules became out of place and everything not the same. It’s been hectic for us all.

Don’t you worry my friends, everything has an end. That’s how it’s always been. We will back to teach an actual class once again.

However, before this all ends, let us take a moment and think to ourselves. One thing which has brought us more together than ever is this whole thing that has happened. Our family became right beside us. Our students, our friends became an everyday video call away. We became there for everyone and so did everyone else.

Thankfulness was no longer just a word but an action we all saw and heard. I think it was the most clapping that has ever happened in the history of earth. They came around your homes and brought flowers, cakes, and balloons of all colors. They brought signs and sang songs. They brought you letters full of love.

It was hard for you, we know. That is why this year is quite different. This year we thank you more than we ever could. Everything is a whole mess, it’s everywhere but you managed to stay there, teaching the children and doing your best to give more than you thought you could. Thank you for your creativity. Thank you for signing them a song. Thank you for teaching them all and more. Thank you for coming to our homes making the kids feel that you’re there with them, caring for them.

Truly we are thankful to have you in our lives, our children, your students, you just make them smile, today, tomorrow, and evermore. Have a great, positive, and blessed Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you once more.

Sincerely,

Furnicom Team
