Chalk art and thank you parades in front of teacher’s homes have taken the place of gift baskets and luncheons in staff break rooms this year to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, but the sentiment remains the same.
After nearly two months of homeschooling their children because of campus closures due to the coronavirus pandemic, some parents say they appreciate teachers more than ever.
“Besides being in class every day, they work at night. They work on the weekend,” said Brittany Costarella, a parent at Crocker Riverside Elementary School in Sacramento. “They give so much of themselves, physically, emotionally, and monetarily to their classrooms and they deserve as much appreciation as we can give them.”
