Date Introduced: May 07, 2024 | |
Referred To: Recommended for Immediate Consideration | |
1 | WHEREAS, Every successful person in the Ocean State owes a great measure of their |
2 | achievement to the dedication and hard work of the teachers who inspired them to open their |
3 | minds to the magic of ideas, knowledge, and dreams, and find the very best in themselves; and |
4 | WHEREAS, Learning is a process of discovery. Teachers across this country utilize |
5 | innovative and dynamic methods to inspire young people to be curious about the world around |
6 | them, to explore ways to better understand their environment, and to develop the critical thinking |
7 | skills necessary for their success as adults; and |
8 | WHEREAS, Cities and Towns in Rhode Island employ approximately 21,000 full-time |
9 | public school teachers and many more private school teachers. These professionals consistently |
10 | demonstrate laudable commitment and competence through their willingness to provide the time, |
11 | energy, talent, and ideas to ensure that Rhode Island’s 143,000 students have the opportunity to |
12 | fulfill all of their potential; and |
13 | WHEREAS, Teachers spend countless hours preparing lessons, evaluating progress, |
14 | counseling and coaching students, consulting with parents, and performing community service. |
15 | Teachers also fill vital roles in the lives of many young people, often as listeners, role models, |
16 | explorers, motivators, and mentors; and |
17 | WHEREAS, Teachers keep democracy alive and vibrant by laying the foundation for |
18 | good citizenship. They display daily the value of public service. Their hard work and efforts are |
19 | directly responsible for creating the leaders of tomorrow; and |
| |
1 | WHEREAS, Many of us are who we are because at least one teacher in the past ignited a |
2 | spark within us. They touch and mold the lives of our children and they have earned, and truly |
3 | deserve, the gratitude and respect of students, parents, and community members throughout the |
4 | state; now, therefore be it |
5 | RESOLVED, That this Senate of the State of Rhode Island hereby proclaims May 6th |
6 | through May 10th of 2024, to be “Teacher Appreciation Week” in Rhode Island. We heartily |
7 | thank all of Rhode Island’s teachers for their tireless devotion in educating and developing our |
8 | children; and be it further |
9 | RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and hereby is authorized and directed to |
10 | transmit duly certified copies of this resolution to Francis J. Flynn, President of the Rhode Island |
11 | Federation of Teachers and Health Professionals, and the Honorable Valerie Lawson, President of |
12 | the National Education Association of Rhode Island. |
