For the Tomahawk Leader
LINCOLN COUNTY – The Lincoln County Retired Educators’ Association recently visited area schools and showed their support for teachers in celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week.
“All across the country, Teacher Appreciation Week is being celebrated during the week of May 2 through May 8,” the organization stated. “It is the time when educators get the extra credit they deserve.”
In recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week, members of the organization displayed signs of appreciation at schools in Tomahawk and Merrill, “honoring educators and recognizing the lasting contributions they make in shaping our children: the future leaders of our country.”
The Lincoln County Retired Educators’ Association is a local chapter of the Wisconsin Retired Educators’ Association. The organization aims to preserve public education and to support public school educators, while safeguarding retiree interests and engaging members in volunteerism.
Meetings are held six times a year, with the next meeting being held via Zoom at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, May 17. Hans Breitenmoser will be the guest speaker, with Fair Maps being the topic of discussion.
