Teacher Appreciation Week Is Important to Us All!

According to the 29th Annual MetLife Survey of the American Teacher, half of America’s public school teachers say they feel great stress several days a week.  Since after parents, teachers are the most significant presence in our kids lives, this statistic is a concern to the entire community, not just the schools.

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week in many parts of the county, and if each parent takes just a few minutes to help their kids acknowledge a teacher, that goes a long way toward recognizing all that teachers do for our community.  So, whether it's a home-made card, a box of donuts, movie tickets, or just a sweet juicy Apple for Teacher, your child's gesture will go a long way.

At Comfort & Joy Wellness Spa, our appreciation goes out to all  our guests who are hard-working teachers from area schools in the Woodson, Fairfax and Robinson area school districts, and we want to recognize and thank you all!
