Teacher Appreciation Month 2023: Letter from Superintendent Woods to Georgia teachers

In Georgia, May is Teacher Appreciation Month. State School Superintendent Richard Woods penned the message below to thank Georgia teachers for their efforts and sacrifices each day on behalf of our state's K-12 students. 

Throughout the month of May, we encourage Georgians to share their gratitude with teachers and share stories of the teachers who had a positive impact on their lives. Consider sharing on social media with the hashtag #ThankAGATeacher so GaDOE can help spread your message of gratitude.
