Future Educator’s Association will be holding a bake sale today to commemorate National Teachers Appreciation week. The bake sale will take place in the main commons and baked goods will cost between 50 cents and one dollar.

“The money goes to the future club of FEA, Future Educators Association and so there are a lot of seniors in that class but it will go towards the next class of people in the club and that club develops money to go to the convention,” senior FEA member Hayde Veach said, “so they can compete in other teaching competitions like essays or certain contributions to education, so it prepares a lot of kids for education.”

For RBHS faculty the bake sale is free. Students are also encouraged to send a baked good to a teacher for free or write a shout out to a teacher that will be read over the intercom.

“There isn’t a whole lot of recognition for teachers to begin with and often times its only unspoken gratitude sometimes you can be grateful for them,” Veach said, “but there isn’t a whole lot of thank you’s involved and one of the few things teachers have as a reward is student achievement but even then its nice to be recognized once and awhile so this is a week dedicated to recognizing everyone in the education system who contributes to students.”

This week teachers have had other forms of appreciation. Student Council members provided desserts yesterday, and the Parent/Teacher/Student Association provided snacks to teachers Monday, salad today, cupcakes tomorrow and Papa John’s Pizza Friday.
