November is “Thank Alabama Teachers Month”. They are more than just teachers. They serve as coaches, mentors, and friends. They deserve recognition and thanks! So this month, give your thanks to the special teachers in your life. It doesn’t matter if you leave a note, a gift, a shout out on social media, or simply say thank you. There’s no wrong way to thank a teacher for everything they have done.
