Celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week, one teacher will be a winner

Gov. Kristi Noem has proclaimed May 6-10 Teacher Appreciation Week in South Dakota.

“In South Dakota teachers, I see dedicated professionals pushing their students to achieve the highest standards, so that they will learn how to think, not what to think,” said Interim Secretary of Education Dr. Ben Jones. “We have all been impacted by great teachers. Please take time this week to thank a teacher for the important work they do.”

The Ipswich Commercial Club is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week this week.

One Ipswich teacher will win $50 Business Bucks. Students are invited submit the name of a teacher throughout the week. The winner will be chosen at the end of the week.

The Department of Education will be using the hashtag #ThankATeacher on social media throughout the week. Members of the public are invited to share a message of thanks for the teachers impacting students across the state and country.
