National Thank a Teacher Day: Superstar Teachers in Kent Posted on 3 July 2023 by Megan Waters, Kent-Teach in General Wednesday, the 21st of June, was National Thank a Teacher Day, a day for children, students, staff and parents to come together to thank those who have made an impact in their life. So, we thought this would be a perfect opportunity for you to tell us all about your favourite teachers in Kent.Our Facebook competition ran between the 12th and 21st of June. In that time, our followers sent us hundreds of nominations for teachers they feel deserve to be celebrated for their hard work, caring personalities, and incredible impacts on students, parents, and co-workers' lives. It was truly heartwarming to read such fantastic comments about so many teachers!While a group of randomly selected winners won some special prizes, we knew we needed to celebrate the nominated teachers that received such lovely compliments and share the wonderful stories that have been told to us! So, here's a compilation of the inspiring comments we received (with names and personal details removed for privacy).Wonderful Words from National Thank a Teacher DayCompetition WinnersBut that's not all!
