Teacher Appreciation Week 2020

Commemorative Edition

“PCI…Success Through Affirmation: Think it, Say it,

Believe it, Do it!”

TEACHERS - WE APPRECIATE YOU!

2

It's officially National Teacher Appreciation Week 2020. National Appreciation Day, May 7,

2020, though activities will take place all week remotely. Parent/Child Incorporated honor

teachers and recognize the lasting contributions they make to our children’s lives.

The history of National Appreciation Week, and National Appreciation Day, is not certain. The

movement for such an observance is commonly thought to have begun around the time of World

War II and Eleanor Roosevelt made a major push for the day in 1953.

Congress declared a National Teacher Day in 1980 and in 1985 the Parent Teacher Association

(PTA) established National Teacher Week as the first week of May. It has been celebrated

annually since.

Included in this Commemorative Edition is PCI’s Proclamation, a list of PCI teachers, Teacher

Appreciation Day and Week Offers and Freebees to say Thank You to our Teachers and a

memory section for those special thoughts and memories you wish to jot down.

“PCI…Success Through Affirmation: Think it, Say it,

Believe it, Do it!”

PROCLAIMATION 2020

Parent/Child Incorporated would like to make National Teacher Day "official" by formally

proclaiming the day. Here's our proclamation.

WHEREAS, teachers make schools great; and

WHEREAS, teachers work to open students' minds to ideas, knowledge and dreams; and

WHEREAS, teachers keep American democracy alive by laying the foundation for good

citizenship; and

WHEREAS, teachers fill many roles, as listeners, explorers, role models, motivators and

mentors; and

WHEREAS, teachers continue to influence us long after our school days are only memories;

Now, therefore, I, Dr. Sharon Small, CEO/HS/EHS Director of Parent/Child Incorporated

of San Antonio and Bexar County,

Do hereby proclaim Tuesday, May 5, 2020 as…

National Teacher Day

I urge that we observe this day by taking time to recognize and acknowledge the impact of

teachers on our lives.

Signed this 5th day of May, year of 2020.
