Graphic says: Happy Teacher Appreciation Week. To Ms. Ice, Laukhuf Elementary. From Miranda W., 12th grade, Louisville Male High School. I hope you are doing well! As I look back on my education, I can’t help but think of the incredible impact you had on my learning and personal growth. I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your dedication, encouragement, and the lasting influence you’ve had on my life. Looking back, I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into making learning engaging and meaningful. Your kindness, patience, and belief in your students made a difference, and I am so grateful to have been one of them. From coming in as a new student with only a few months left of school, you welcomed me with open arms. You made me feel as though I had known you for years. You are the reason I am where I am today, and I am beyond grateful. Thank you for believing in me when I didn’t have faith in myself. Thank you for guiding me through school while also making sure I figured it out on my own. You taught me independence and just how important maturity was. You gave me a helping hand when I needed it most. No matter what the situation was, regardless if it was friends, family, school or just about anything, you were always willing to be there and listen to me talk. As I navigate through life, I will forever appreciate your kindness and words. Thank you for sticking by my side during times I felt like I couldn’t do it! You are an incredible teacher, and your impact reaches far beyond the years in your classroom. As I move on with life and begin my own journey, I will always remember your kind words and to never forget to keep going. You don’t come across many people who help you through life, but I am forever grateful to have that person as you. I love you beyond words and thank you for being you!
