Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! While we feel the love and appreciation for our Apple teachers all year long, it's great to take this week each year to really give them the recognition they so deserve. Teaching is a challenging job, and at times it feels like it gets more challenging as the years go by. And all the while, it remains one of the most important, impactful jobs in the world. A great teacher can leave a lasting impression on a child for life.

At Apple, we currently have 108 teachers across our 20 schools. Our longest-tenured teacher has been with us for over 40 years! Many others have been here for 10, 20, and even 30 years. We have some of the most experienced Montessori educators you'll find, dedicated to empowering our students to reach their full potential academically, socially, and emotionally, and we see the results first-hand all the time.

This week, we're celebrating our teachers in our schools with sweet treats in the theme of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory! Chocolate bars & fizzy lifting drinks, anyone?! There were more fun surprises along the way, but the most important thing, in our minds, is that our teachers feel appreciated for the hard work they do all year long.

If you have an Apple teacher that your family loves, don't forget to tell them when you see them or talk to them this week! You can also leave a Google review if you feel so inclined, and don't forget to mention your teacher by name - that's a great way to let them know how they've impacted your child's life! It really doesn't get much more meaningful than that.
