Can You Donate a Costume to This Florence-Carlton Educator? Teachers have some HARD jobs! I'm not sure I understood exactly how much time and effort (and your own $$) went into being a teacher until my wife got her first teaching job and started molding the minds of America's youth. With my wife being a teacher for years, I always like to see stories where someone is recognized for the joy they bring to the school day. And I think we can all probably look back and remember that one teacher, lunch lady, office employee, or principal that stood out for making school days memorable.
