Sharing our sincere appreciation for teachers across Colorado  and beyond

The closure of schools this spring has created an  unprecedented  challenge for teachers  to overcome.  Teachers were faced with daunting questions:  How do we teach from afar? How do we connect with our students when we cannot connect? How do we ensure students know we care?  We have seen teachers not only  rise to the challenge, but truly innovate during this time of need.
