National Teacher Appreciation Week

National Teacher Appreciation Week is our opportunity to celebrate the outstanding teachers who make Lake Valley Navajo School an exceptional learning environment. The future of our Navajo community is empowered and brightened by the tremendous work and leadership of our faculty. Join us this week, as we recognize and reflect upon the incredible contributions of the Lake Valley Navajo School teachers who continue to enrich the lives of our students.

Teachers are often the unsung heroes on the frontlines of the education system. This week is a reminder of the tireless efforts that are shaping the minds of our future generations. Lake Valley teachers are prime examples of who and what is being appreciated this week. We appreciate our teachers for everything they are; educators, mentors, role models, champions for their students, and much more.

The impact and influence that teachers have upon their students will stay with them from early childhood education to higher education and beyond. Lake Valley teachers have a positive imprint on their students’ development and future successes. They inspire us to think critically, explore new ideas, and they instill a love of learning that stays with us for a lifetime.

Being a teacher is no easy task; Lake Valley teachers just make it look easy. The amount of patience, creativity, and commitment required on a daily basis is more than the average person can handle. Yet, despite the challenges, our teachers are some of the most dedicated and passionate professionals we know.

As we celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Week, let's remember to thank the teachers who work in BIE schools and in tribal nations across the country. Their dedication and hard work are making a difference in the lives of Native students and helping to build stronger, more resilient communities.
