This Teacher Appreciation Week, we're saying Thank You to educators! From Monday, May 6, through Friday, May 10, recognize a special ASD teacher in your/your student's life by writing them a postcard of appreciation. Download, print or make a copy of the following Google slide, and handwrite or type in your message. Email it to CR@abington.k12.pa.us by the end of next week, and we will compile the messages to send to teachers. Please also include whether you're comfortable with having your message shared on social media. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ZfyjRigBrl72Y8su2JTWmHoQPns_EeizWANCpl8KG2Q/edit?usp=sharing #ASDProud #OneASD #ThankATeacher
