Rappahannock residents encouraged to
celebrate American Education week, Nov. 11-17
This week marks the annual observance of National Education Week. It’s a time for the recognition of educators and the contribution they make to society, and its children. Parents are asked to make a special effort to visit the classrooms of their sons and daughters. Every student needs support. Every parent must be involved in what goes on inside school, as well as outside it. American Education Week is an opportunity that parents should not miss. The world is rapidly changing. Not all changes are for the better. But for today’s children to understand and master tomorrow’s world demands a greater commitment to education than ever by today’s parents and adults. National Education Week is an excellent and highly visible opportunity for each of us to renew our commitment to the public school system. We encourage parents and adults not to just salute the week but get involved in the school system. We are proud of the students at Rappahannock County Elementary and High School and salute all administrators, teachers, aides, volunteers, bus drivers, custodians, secretaries, our resource office and all others who have a daily part in the lives of our children within the system.
