Teacher Appreciation Week

Great teachers make us feel seen and empowered as learners. During Teacher Appreciation Week at Farmington Municipal Schools, we will share messages showing how teachers positively influence our lives. Let's join together in celebrating amazing teachers!

Supporting Teachers

Let's show our support for teachers and their special projects! We want to bring your attention to the Foundation for Excellence. They are raising funds for unique projects in our schools that enhance our children's educational experiences. This year, the Foundation helped to develop creating an elementary classroom garden, explore the world of flying drones, and even compose new music for our middle schools, among other exciting initiatives. Let's come together and contribute to more wonderful initiatives in 2024!

Read more about the projects funded by the Foundation here. The Foundation’s main event is the Race to Educate. Consider supporting it here!

We also want to shine a spotlight on some amazing teachers who are raising funds for their classrooms through Donors Choose. One teacher we'd like to mention is Ms. Wayne at Animas Elementary. Last year, she successfully raised $10,000 for art supplies, and she's working hard to achieve the same this year. We've witnessed the positive impact of her efforts, culminating in the fantastic Animas Art Show last Friday (check out the photos above!).

We encourage you to consider supporting these dedicated teachers and their classroom projects.
