(Spirit Lake)– Everyone is urged to take some time out during this, American Education Week, to thank those involved in educating our young people.
Chuck Rizutti, a retired teacher from the Spirit Lake Community Schools, says it’s important to remember that education is truly a team effort–involving many more than students, teachers and parents.
Rizzuti says American Education Week is a perfect time to take a few minutes to say thank you to those folks. He says it could come in the form of a simple note, phone call, e-mail or a personal visit.
Rizzuti, a former teacher himself, says getting such a message is truly motivating.
The theme for this year’s observance of American Education Week is “Celebrating the American Dream”.
