Dear John,

Today is National Teacher Appreciation Day. If you ask me, one day is not enough.

After all, teachers do so much more than teach. They work tirelessly to make every student feel safe, secure and of course well-fed — often playing a key role in connecting kids with the food they need to succeed in school.

That makes teachers superheroes.

And helping kids get meals by supporting No Kid Hungry is pretty heroic, too!

Here’s how one teacher expressed her commitment to the kids in her class:

Last week, we celebrated the diverse community of superheroes who make it possible for millions of children to get the food they need — and teachers are some of the most important in the ‘league of hunger-fighting superheroes.’ They deserve our deepest gratitude.

John, please join me in raising a virtual glass to the remarkable people who give so much to feed kids’ minds, hearts and bellies!

Sincerely,
