Dear teachers:

As a member of the Paterson board of education and as a concerned and very involved parent of students who attend school in the Paterson public schools system, I’d like to personally offer my sincere thanks and appreciation for all of the hard work you put in on a daily basis.

Many of you work well beyond the hours you are scheduled to work just to see a student achieve their academic goals. I salute those of you who genuinely care about the students of Paterson.

I commend you for every moment you spend whether inside or outside of the classroom to assist the children in realizing their aspirations while discovering their potentials.

Again, thank you very much and I wish you continued success going forward.

Sincerely,
Corey L. Teague
School board member
