May 9^th marks the 30th anniversary of California’s Day of the Teacher. This year's Day of the Teacher theme is "California Teachers: Building a Better State for Public Education."

Our teachers are working hard every day to prepare our students to graduate from high school ready for college or career.  We must prepare our students for success in their future.  The success of our local community and California depends on these students.

There are several ways you can personally recognize and/or hone one of our own San Rafael teachers.

• Write your own personal message in a card and drop it by your child’s school;
• Send your personal story about one of our teachers to superintendent@srcs.org. We will customize a personal acknowledgement of your submission.
• Visit the California Teachers Association website and “Thank a Teacher” http://www.cta.org/en/About-CTA/Forms/Thank-you-Teacher.aspx

Legislation for Day of the Teacher was co-sponsored by CTA and the Association of Mexican American Educators and adopted in 1982. California has patterned its celebration after the traditional “El Dia del Maestro” festivities observed in Mexico and other Latin American countries.

CONGRATULATIONS!
