National Teacher Day
Teaching is the profession of shaping young minds into the future leaders of the world. Have you ever had a teacher who has had a great influence on your life and who went above and beyond the standard to increase your personal growth and development? If you have ever had a teacher like this, it is time to show them that you appreciate all that they've done for you.
Around 1944, Wisconsin teacher Ryan Krug wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt about the need for a national day to honor teachers. In 1953, Mrs. Roosevelt persuaded Congress to proclaim a National Teacher Day, and the rest is history. National Teacher Day is celebrated around the world, though in different countries it is observed on different days. Send an custom eCard to say thank you today to your current or former teachers for all of their hard work and patience.
