Dear Teachers,

It mattered.

The long days.

The frustrating days.

The sad days.

The incredible days.

The late nights.

The early mornings.

The sacrifices.

The setbacks.

The smiles.

It all mattered.

You made a difference.

You changed our world for the better.

You deserve a raise.

And a bonus.

And a vacation.

And a long nap.

And much more.

I know that I wouldn’t be where I am, who I am, or doing what I am doing if it wasn’t for my many teachers.

Thank you for all you do.

Thank you for putting your life on the line.

Thank you for showing up and loving the children of this world.

Thank you for adapting and caring.

Have a great summer.

With hope,

Tanner Olson
