Dorrie Pharis, Allegra Steiger and Evan Radivoyevitch (L-R) and their families recognized math teacher Robert O’Deens during the 2014-15 school year.
Nov. 22, 2015 -- Students and families use the Reaching Heights Thank-A-Teacher program to recognize school staff and make a contribution to Reaching Heights. Here is a sample of what families say:
- My daughters speak so highly of your classes that I wish I could take one! Thank you for giving students such a thought provoking class!
- Thank you for teaching me how to read, subtract, about magnets and how to act with other teachers. Most of all thank you for loving me!
- You teach children to be kind. I think this is very important. My son loves you very much and he’s happy because you are his teacher!
- Thank you for teaching me how to read and do math
Parents can use Thank-A-Teacher with the on-line form or print the Thank-A-Teacher Form and send to the Reaching Heights office.
Reaching Heights will deliver a personalized card to the person you recognize. Your words will be appreciated by the staff person you thank and Reaching Heights will use the funds to supports school-based programming.
The principal or supervisor and superintendent will be notified of each honor bestowed.
Fostering an atmosphere of gratitude by expressing a few simple words of encouragement is a gift that goes a long way!
Reaching Heights is a non-profit support organization for the CH-UH School District.
