To end National Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4 through May 6), students at Jefferson Somerset and their parents took to social media to spread a bit of Tiger-love.
With colorful, homemade signs inscribed with heartfelt messages, Jefferson Somerset families posted loving notes on social media for their teachers to see.
Many of the messages from the students proclaimed that their educator was the “best teacher ever.”
Other students remarked on how they missed their teacher and couldn't wait to return to their classrooms.
“All of the students really [miss] you and really wish we could see you!” one student's poster-board message read.
“I hope to see you soon,” another's noted.
When students left for Spring Break in March, many families expected that their children would only be home for an extended week after the break.
But as COVID-19 picked up around the nation and state, students were urged to stay home longer, and then on Saturday, April 18, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced that public school campuses within the state would remain closed until the new semester.
During this time, education for Jefferson County's youth has continued with teachers going above and beyond to provide resources, classes and instruction virtually and remotely to their students.
All the same, it has been a stressful time for students, parents, teachers and school administration alike, and many students are feeling the strain of having their educational routines disrupted and being unable to participate in school activities and functions.
Florida students, including those in Jefferson County, have been unable to meet face-to-face with their teachers and interact with their schoolmates and friends for several weeks.
