Dear Teachers,
In honor of Thanksgiving, we’d like to express our appreciation for some of the people who made an impression on us throughout our lives.
I have always had great teachers in my life, and they’re part of the reason I wanted to go into Education in the first place. I would especially like to thank my high school Humanities teacher, Ms. Hall, for giving me my first exposure to art. Without her excitement and enthusiasm, I never would have taken art history courses in college and probably wouldn’t be working at the DMA today!
I am thankful for three special teachers who have always been in my life (two of my sisters and one of my brothers-in-law), who inspired me to become involved in all of the arts including theater, literature, music and visual arts. They gave me the confidence to do what I love!
Thank you to my junior high math teacher, who encouraged, challenged, and rewarded me both in and out of class. I aspire to be an educator who can blend all of those things and inspire hard work and a sense of accomplishment in her students.
Educators, you deserve the biggest THANK YOU of all! I appreciate the dedication to your students, and the inspiration you instill in them. Thank you for making the Museum a part of your classroom, and I look forward to seeing you and your students.
Happy Thanksgiving,
DMA Educators
