TO DECLARE THE WEEK OF MAY 4-8, 2009, AS TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO EXPRESS THE SINCERE GRATITUDE OF THE CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA TO THE TEACHERS OF THIS GREAT STATE.

Whereas, throughout the State of South Carolina and across the nation, teachers open children's minds to the magic of ideas, knowledge, and dreams; and

Whereas, teachers help in keeping American democracy alive by fostering good citizenship in our children, and their labors contribute immeasurably to creating the leaders of tomorrow; and

Whereas, in filling their many roles, including that of listener, explorer, role model, motivator, and mentor, teachers continue to influence students long after their school days are only memories; and

Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly recognizes that, as a strong adjunct to parents' efforts in the home, teachers' work in the classroom forms the underpinnings of excellence in education for our children; and

Whereas, the General Assembly further recognizes that by working together and investing in helpful, fresh ideas, legislators and teachers can promote excellence in every classroom; and

Whereas, the National Parent Teacher Association has declared May 4-8, 2009, as Teacher Appreciation Week; and

Whereas, for all their hard work and dedication, the teachers of South Carolina are worthy of praise and commendation. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, declare the week of May 4-8, 2009, as Teacher Appreciation Week in South Carolina and express the sincere gratitude of the citizens of South Carolina to the teachers of this great State.

Be it further resolved that all businesses and governmental and community agencies participate in the celebration of the significant role teachers play in shaping the lives of our students.
