A simple thank you does not seem to be enough when I think of the amazing work of our dedicated teachers.  Please know that I speak for students, parents, and community members when I say "thank you" for your countless hours of preparation, teaching, and caring for our students in Iron County School District.  You do amazing work!   It is fitting that the week of May 7 - 11 be designated as our teacher appreciation week.  I know that most of you have just finished "end of levels" and have worked tirelessly in preparing your students.  I also know that students in our district feel accepted, cared for, and challenged in our schools.  Thank you for your nurturing attitudes and loving service extended to our students.  You truly make a difference in the lives of thousands.
