Teachers have been undervalued long before the pandemic. They shape our children, and furthermore, our future. Over the last couple of months, I’ve had the unique opportunity to see through the lens of a first grade teacher, and it has shown how much they need our support - now more than ever.
Unsure of whether they'd return to a classroom or continue remotely, teachers have been unable to plan, uneasy about potential danger (for themselves and for their students), and without the information necessary to prepare their curriculums. They need our help, and more importantly, our respect. Baked by Melissa has declared September the month to celebrate and support our teachers.
This September, we asked our followers to nominate teachers that had made an impact on their lives by sending us a story on instagram. For every day of the month, we selected one teacher to receive cupcakes from us, free of charge.
