County Commissioners proclaim
May 5-9 as Teacher Appreciation Week

FREEHOLD, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners recognized May 5-9 as Teacher Appreciation Week and thanked the County’s educators for their dedication and commitment to learning during a Commissioner Workshop Meeting on May 6.

“During Teacher Appreciation Week, my fellow Commissioners and I proudly recognize the nearly four million educators in public, private, and charter schools who dedicate themselves to supporting our students,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “Teachers do more than educate; they inspire, mentor, and help shape the next generation of leaders. Their commitment in the classroom makes a lasting difference in the lives of students and the future of our communities.”

“We proudly designate May 5-9 as Teacher Appreciation Week to honor the dedicated men and women who educate and inspire our students,” said Commissioner Erik Anderson. “We are grateful for their commitment to this vital role, and I encourage everyone to take a moment to thank a teacher who made a difference in their life. The impact teachers have on their students is truly unforgettable.”
