Last night I had the privilege of participating in the North Oconee Basketball Teacher Appreciation Night.
Athletes had identified a teacher that was meaningful to them and presented them with the certificate where they had written something to the teacher describing how they had inspired them. Each teacher was called one-by-one and while the certificates were read, the teachers ran through a ‘tunnel’ of athletes and supporters while all fans cheered them on. The smiles on their faces were so fun to watch! What an impressive group of teachers and athletes. The teachers covered topics from dance, english, math to physics – quite a diverse set of teachers and all had inspired these athletes.
I was impressed hearing the comments with how thoughtful and inspiring they were. Each athlete really honored their teacher and it was evident to all.
I am a strong believer in the contribution that athletics make to our students. The life lessons any athlete learns better equips them to handle life’s challenges, and often helps our students become more engaged in their academic programs. Congratulations to the athletes and the teachers at North Oconee High School.
