This week is Catholic Schools Week, and it offers an opportunity to recognize alleducators who are so important in the lives of children and young adults. We know that in these times, teaching encompasses more than just delivering content.  As parent partners, teachers assume the responsibility of a child’s emotional, social, and academic progress while children are in their care.  In addition, they respond with agility and creativity to factors such as ever evolving technology, social emotional challenges and cultural strife that impact student learning.  If COVID has taught us anything, it is that our educators are heroes.  Whether in-person or virtual, pre-school, elementary, high school or beyond, teachers educate their students with dedication and resolve. We are ever grateful for their vocation and pray that God grants them the grace to teach with enthusiasm, compassion, and clarity.
