“Day of the Teacher” will be observed on Wednesday, May 13. This special observance was established 27 years ago to honor teachers and the teaching profession in California. This year’s day of the Teacher theme is “California Teachers: Standing Up for a Better Tomorrow.” Remember the teacher who taught you how to read, do math, spell a word correctly? Or the one who taught you that it was just as important to listen as to talk? If you want to honor a special teacher, send 300 words or less to info@thefillmoregazette.com telling us about the professional who made a difference in your life. We will post them online, and if space allows, in print.
