Teacher Appreciation Week is a special time to recognize the dedication, passion, and care our teachers bring to our classrooms each day. They do so much more than teach—they inspire, support, and guide our students to grow and succeed.
As we celebrate National Teacher Day on Tuesday, May 5, we say thank you to all of our teachers for everything you do. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom, and we are truly grateful for the difference you make.
Take a moment this week to thank a teacher—whether it’s a note, a kind word, or a simple “thank you.” It can mean more than you realize!

Students in Mr. Fischer’s Life Skills 2 class at Sheldon High School took part in a fun and challenging communication activity while decorating cupcakes. One student was blindfolded while a partner gave step-by-step directions on how to decorate the cupcake correctly, putting their listening and communication skills to the test. It was a great hands-on way to practice teamwork, clear instructions, and problem-solving! Way to go Orabs!
