A Prayer of Gratitude for Our Teachers (In light of “Honor A Teacher”nominations)
Lord, we thank you for the teachers who are shaping the minds of our children at Cary Christian School. We value the important role they play in our community, classrooms, and families, and hope they feel our love and support. Grant us ways to let them know how valued they truly are. We are so thankful that You placed them in this position and ask that You continue to do a great work in their hearts. Amen.

School-Wide Information
Friday, January 30 – “Honor A Teacher” Nomination Deadline By 5:00 p.m. – The Chamber of Commerce has announced its annual “Honor A Teacher” program among the 37 participating schools. They are seeking nominations now. To nominate an excellent teacher, click here, and be ready to describe why you believe he/she deserves this award.
Excellence in teaching – We know it when we see it. It can be the teacher who spends extra time with the students who need it most, or the teacher who is creative enough to inspire a real love of learning in a student. Perhaps it’s a teacher who cares enough to be involved with their students beyond the classroom. Whatever their methods, certain teachers make a real impact on students and their learning abilities.
