Although many students will not admit it, teachers do take a lot of time out of their lives in order to help students. They stay after school for extra help or correct papers as quickly as possible, which is time consuming when they have their own commitments outside of working.

The week before April vacation, Student Council members gave back to the teachers at Westford Academy during Teacher Appreciation Week. The Student Council came come to school at 6:45am that Monday through Wednesday morning to set up food in the teacher’s lounge for Teacher Appreciation.

The committee chairs for student council, Allie LeBlanc, Katie Huber, and Thomas Yorke, made up a list of all needed supplies and they divided them among the student council members, who brought them in.

Each day had a different theme: Monday was breakfast day, Tuesday was cookie day, Wednesday was snack day, Thursday was an after school raffle, and Friday was an after school ice cream social.

“I think it’s a nice way to show our school’s appreciation for everything the teachers do for us,” said Student Council member, Abby Cianciolo.

Overall, the Student Council members did an excellent job conducting the week.  Teachers were constantly complimenting the student council and commenting on how they always do a nice job with Teacher Appreciation.

Freshman Melissa Madsen said, ” I thought Teachers Appreciation was just a day at Westford Academy, not a week, but from what I hear teachers were happy with the outcome of the week.  I wish students could have been more involved, [instead of] just Student Council members.”

Cianciolo said, “I think teachers responded really well.  There’s no better way to get into teachers’ hearts than with food!”
