Teacher Appreciation Week Notes of Gratitude
Teacher Appreciation Week Notes of Gratitude
- May 11, 2023
As a part of Teacher Appreciation Week, we asked our online community to share notes of gratitude with educators from the tri-state area who participated in our educational programs and who help keep our mission alive.
The Education department here at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum — and the entire staff — were so touched by the outpouring of thoughtful notes and best wishes for our incredible teachers. We wanted to share some of them with you.
Below are just a few of the heartfelt messages left for the dedicated educators who are teaching a new generation about the history, impact, and ongoing importance of September 11, 2001.
- Thank you for teaching the next generation about the important history of 9/11 and the impact it has had on our lives and future. — Janine, NJ
- Thank you for keeping the memory of everyone that lost their lives. History is so important. — Anna, CT
- I owe a great deal to some of my inspiring and dedicated teachers! Thank you to all such teachers! — Harley, AZ
- As a parent, former teacher, and superintendent of schools, I am so grateful for the contributions you make daily toward improving the lives of our young citizens. Thank you! — Owen, ME
- As a mother of two young boys, I'm grateful for educators who help new generations to understand the magnitude and impact of the 9/11 events, so that we may never forget how the world changed on that fateful day. Teachers play an enormous role and they are true heroes! — Jill, GA

As the FDNY's Chief Medical Officer on 9/11, Dr. Kerry Kelly was a first responder who raced to Ground Zero to help however she could. Her school teacher husband Dan, whose ability to remain calm and steady in the face of chaos steered his Staten Island students through that horrific day and its aftermath, is a 9/11 hero in his own right.
