A message from the top all the way down to
me!!!! I am so proud to be associated with the Vocational Teachers of
Mississippi. You all have a great responsibility and shoulder that
responsibility so willingly. If I can be of any assistance here from the RCU,
please feel free to contact me! Marilyn and the rest of the Professional
Development Department Robin, Jon, Leanne, and Vickie From: Dr. Patti

and tell them how much we (RCU/MDE) appreciate all they do also. From: U.S.

OUR NATION'S TEACHERS IN RECOGNITION OF TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK, MAY 1-7,
2005 I am
pleased to join our nation in recognizing you for your remarkable dedication to
our students and your tireless efforts in support of education. It is fitting
that we take time each year during Teacher Appreciation Week to thank our
teachers -- as the work you do has a tremendous and very direct effect on the
lives of young people. As President Bush has said, "There's nothing more
noble than to teach." During my
first few months as U.S. Secretary of Education, I have traveled throughout our
great country and listened to teachers share stories about the status of
education in their communities. I have also seen how the No Child Left Behind Act is making a
positive difference for so many students, particularly those from
underprivileged circumstances. Student achievement is on the rise and the
learning gap is starting to narrow. It is because of committed and effective
teachers that we will make No Child Left
Behind work for ALL children. Over the
past 20 years, I have been privileged to be involved in education at many
different levels, but it is as a mother of school-aged children that I am most
aware of the extra effort our teachers make to help all children grow and
learn. You are helping to build a stronger nation, a better world, and a
brighter future. Please
accept my deep appreciation and gratitude for your work on behalf of our
nation's children. Margaret
