Teacher Appreciation Tuesday

It is indisputable that kindness as human virtue is in too short supply and too little used these days. Sometimes we wonder how we can heal our seemingly insurmountable divides. Let me post a single word: Kindness.

Over the past seven weeks, you have demonstrated kindness to the teachers and staff the two school districts that serve the South Shore by submitting shout-outs and donating little gifts to celebrate with. Our educators have worked so hard this year and we took a moment to say thank you. These are the things that make Tahoe not just a wonderful place to live, but a wonderful place to call home. Sometimes all it takes is a random act of kindness to change the world, and you have done that!

There is just one more week of Teacher Appreciation Tuesday left! The special recognitions will be wrapping up on Tuesday, May 4 so submit your "shout outs" at https://forms.gle/DEbmTP6ue4oBxmeq5.

Each week books will be donated to school libraries in honor of the top three teachers/staff members honored.

Let’s take a moment to honor this week’s shout outs and honorees!

Will Davenport - South Tahoe High School - He wins a $80 pass to Sierra Express Car Wash and a special print from Tattoo BonBon - "Will is an amazing teacher and coach. He brightens everybody’s day whenever he is around and always makes sure everybody is having a great time at school" - Anonymous

Mr. Glen - Custodial Genius, Maintenance Miracle Worker, and the Heart of Tahoe Valley - He wins a $80 pass to Sierra Express Car Wash and a special print from Tattoo BonBon - Tahoe Valley would not be able to operate in any capacity without Mr. Glen. He runs the school with incredible dedication and his whole heart. It is impossible to not notice his love for each and every student that walks through the school doors. He is Superman. When it comes to the performing arts, he immediately jumps at the chance to help out with anything we need, big or small. He gives multiple scholarships to graduating Tahoe Valley Elementary Alumni every year to help with college and post-high school dreams. He truly is a gift to the staff and students at Tahoe Valley. He is worthy of much more than a simple shout out but I believe the community needs to know the incredible man we have at Tahoe Valley. Love you Mr. Glen! - -Miss Little
