BY: Senator PERSAUD

MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
May 7-13, 2023, as Teacher Appreciation Week in the
State of New York

WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official weeks that are set aside to highlight the men and women who
lend their passion and skills to educating our children; and

WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 7-13, 2023, as Teacher
Appreciation Week in the State of New York, in conjunction with the
observance of National Teacher Appreciation Week; and

WHEREAS, In addition, National Teacher Appreciation Day will be
celebrated on May 9, 2023; this day focuses on the teachers who work to
make public schools great places for students to succeed in life, as
well as to honor teachers and recognize the lasting contributions they
make in the lives of their students; and

WHEREAS, Our teachers are more than purveyors of knowledge in the
classroom, they also serve our students as role models and mentors and
positively impact the lives of students well beyond the classroom; and

WHEREAS, Few other professionals touch as many people as do
teachers; teachers in the State of New York and in communities across
the Nation will be in the spotlight the week of May 7-13, 2023, as
students, parents, school administrators and the general public learn
how teachers are making public schools accessible for every child; and

WHEREAS, The citizens of this great Empire State recognize our
teachers educate and nurture all students to be responsible citizens,
critical thinkers and life-long learners to successfully compete in the
global marketplace; and

WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Legislative Body to recognize the
educators of New York State who work to open the minds of their students
to new ideas, knowledge and dreams; who keep American democracy alive by
laying the foundation for good citizenship; who fill many roles such as
listeners, explorers, role models, motivators and mentors; and who
continue to influence their students long after the school days are only
memories; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 7-13, 2023, as Teacher
Appreciation Week in the State of New York; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
