Why Do We Emphasize Teacher Appreciation?

January 17, 2024 Aurora Frontier PTO general info

PTO’s upcoming “Love On Your Teachers Coin Competition” will raise money for teacher appreciation. Participating in the coin competition will help support the PTO’s efforts to show Frontier’s teachers that they are valued.

Teacher’s jobs do not start and end with the school day. Teachers take work home, often stay beyond their contracted hours, attend events, and many can’t help but spend some of their free time thinking about how to better support their students. It is an endless job.

Teacher appreciation funding pays for teacher dinner during conferences (when teachers stay until 7:30p!), and provides small tokens of appreciation around the holidays & during May’s Teacher Appreciation Week.
