Each day our children engage in a wonderful array of learning activities carefully planned and facilitated by teachers. An easy way to support excellence is to recognize the good work of these caring educators.
The Reaching Heights Thank-A-Teacher program encourages teacher recognition and an atmosphere of appreciation. Parents and community members can pay tribute to a Heights teacher by making a contribution to Reaching Heights in honor of that teacher. Reaching Heights puts these gifts to good use by funding grants to school-based teams for projects that make wonderful things happen for Cleveland Heights-University Heights students.
Here are some of the messages of gratitude we have sent to teachers from appreciative parents and students:
“Thank you for helping our daughter feel connected, and for keeping her engaged and challenged.”
“Your kindness and caring made the transition from 1/2 day preschool to all day kindergarten smooth for my daughter.”
