Has an educator made a difference in your life?

Wisconsin's educators are committed to the success of their students
and to their local communities. When an educator goes the extra mile,
it doesn't just affect one person, it makes a real difference in all of our
lives. Show your support for educators. This site was initially
created for Teacher Appreciation Week, but any week is a
great week to pay tribute to your favorite educator.

I felt safe and cared about in his classroom. The lessons he taught ...

  • Mr. Jeff Uelmen, Pulaski Community Middle School

  • Catherine Robinson (Ms. Rob), Bayfield Elementary School
