Future Educators of America presented Teacher Appreciation Week from May 7^th to May 11^th by traveling to Las Vegas. One of the most impactful activities were how students wrote letters to their favorite teachers. Some of these letters are featured below. Other activities throughout the week were: a breakfast on Monday, special gift deliveries on Tuesday, a kickball game on Wednesday, free massages on Thursday, and free appetizers at Berries in the Grove on Friday. What happened in Stingtown, stayed in Stingtown!
