This is Teacher Appreciation Week. Typically it’s a week of cards and simple remembrances from parents recognizing and showing gratitude for the influence of dedicated and caring teachers. The facilities in which we serve recognize the teachers for their service, but the dynamics of YESS are such that many parents aren’t even aware that their child attends school while in a facility or special program, let alone know that there are dedicated and caring teachers providing as normal of a school experience as they can for their child. Well…that changed this week for the teachers at the Salt Lake Valley Detention Center. A parent did recognize the dedication of the teachers there and remembered them with a treat! This kind act brought tears to the eyes of DT teachers who were deeply touched by this parent’s thoughtful gesture in remembering the work they do for her child, as well as other youth in care. Thank you to that thoughtful parent!
