Teacher Appreciation Week 2008

By Dr. Nicholas Wolsonovich,
Secretary for Faith Formation / Superintendent

The week of May 4-10, 2008 is Teacher Appreciation Week across the country. It is a time when we celebrate the wonderful work that teachers do for students. Teachers in Catholic schools have a special calling. Not only do they encourage and enable students to be problem solvers, critical thinkers, good citizens, and effective leaders. They have the special task of influencing the development of the spiritual lives of students through faith formation and an ever-deepening personal commitment to Jesus Christ.

In the Diocese of Orlando we have almost one thousand teachers working with students in grades pre-kindergarten through twelve. These teachers provide an educational environment for students where Christian values and academic excellence are realized. It is with great sincerity that we thank the teachers in our thirty-seven schools for their witness to these values and for their dedication to student learning and faith formation.

Thank you from all of us in the Office of Catholic Schools.
