Mondays will be Mondays…but some of them make a difference... like this morning.
I attended the pick me up at Equality. The teachers didn’t know what was happening... they had to wait in a separate room. When they got in they were surprised to discover that all students had prepared a ‘teachers-appreciation-day’. They prepared it like a top secret mission and put a lot of time and effort in it.
All teachers were seated to a long table. There was a great breakfast with fresh fruits, coffee en more. While the teachers were enjoying their surprise breakfast everyone was called to the front. A few students gave them a certificate and told them why they’re appreciated. They also got a little present.
But it wasn’t really about the breakfast, the present and it even wasn’t about the great performances by students that we watched…
It was the atmosphere and the fact that these students arranged this, on their own to let their teachers know how they feel about them.
You can’t push these things or expect or force it…it’s the feeling of these students and their initiative and that makes it special…at least I got goose bumps!
