LAUSD Santee Education Complex

While many people are very kind as to their appreciation for firefighters and the job that we do, I must volley my appreciation towards teachers and the thankless sacrifices as well as their willingness to continue to teach in what is often a highly challenged, poorly compensated environment. What I have learned is that like firefighters who do what we do because of the love of what we do, teachers are teachers because that is what God has called them to do. In honor and in memory of my sister (Jennifer Townsend-teacher for 30 years), I say thank you to all of the teachers who give of themselves.
