Celebrating the Heart of Elmira: Staff and Teacher Appreciation Week | May 5–9, 2025
This week, Elmira School District is proud to celebrate Staff and Teacher Appreciation Week, May 5–9, 2025. It’s a special time to pause and honor the incredible individuals who make our schools not just places of learning, but places of inspiration, safety, and support.
From the classroom to the front office, from the cafeteria to the custodial staff, every member of our school community plays a vital role in shaping the future of our students. Their dedication, compassion, and tireless effort do not go unnoticed.
Here in Elmira, we truly believe we have the best. Our teachers spark curiosity, build confidence, and guide young minds with patience and care. Our support staff keeps everything running smoothly, often behind the scenes, ensuring our schools are welcoming, organized, and thriving.
Together, they create an environment where every student can succeed.
Throughout this week, schools across the district will be hosting events, writing notes of thanks, and finding meaningful ways to show appreciation. We encourage families and students to join in by sharing messages of gratitude and celebrating the amazing people who make Elmira schools so special.
To all our staff and teachers: thank you for your unwavering commitment. Your work changes lives every single day, and we are endlessly grateful to have you as part of the Elmira family.
