Teacher Appreciations
Teachers change lives. They inspire, nurture, and guide us through challenges big and small. At Teacher Stories, we believe their extraordinary impact deserves to be celebrated. Now, it’s your chance to show your gratitude by submitting an Appreciation for a teacher who has made a difference in your life or the life of someone you love.
💌 What Is a Teacher Appreciation?
An Teacher Appreciation is a heartfelt message you write to acknowledge the positive impact a teacher has had on your journey. Whether you’re a student, a former student, or a parent, your words can light up a teacher’s day and remind them of the incredible difference they make every day.

“There are not enough words to thank you for everything you did for me as my teacher. I don't think I will ever be able to say thank you enough for the compassion you met my attitude with; you truly changed my life for the better and showed me what it meant for people to work at their own pace. Even when I got behind in your class, you still met me with compassion and helped me in any way you could. You gave me a chance to survive even when I didn't want to. I truly didn't have any hope for my life throughout freshman year, but you cheered me on every step of the way and let me move at my own pace. I'm honestly not sure I would be graduating in seven months without the support you showed me. I'm truly so thankful for you and all of the compassion you gave me.” - Emmaleah Dutton’s appreciation of Mr. Logan Emonds, a teacher at SOUTH MEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL in Medford, OR.
