"Its Teachers’ appreciation week and Long Island Teachers want to thank all educators for their hard work and dedication. This is Cordelia Anthony from Farmingdale High School. I appreciate how my third grade teacher Mrs. Rodriguez made me feel welcomed when I first came to this country. It’s because of her that I became a teacher, So I encourage young people to get into education. You can touch so many lives just like Mrs. Rodriguez touched mine."
"During this Teachers’ Appreciation Week, Art educator Katie Kleinpeter from Port Jeff Station, has a story to share. I will never forget Ms. Diana, my High School art teacher in Center Moriches. She encouraged me to stay in her art class even though at first, I wanted to drop out. It didn’t take long for me to realize that I loved art and that it needed to be a part of my life. Because of her inspiration I am now proud to call myself an art educator. Now it’s our turn to pass along teaching to the next generation."


“Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation.” -John F. Kennedy
