National Teacher Appreciation Week is next week, and the perfect time to celebrate the teachers and staff who make a difference every single day! 💛 There are only a few more days left to honor a special “Bright Light” in your child’s life before the deadline on Sunday.

Maybe it’s a teacher who inspires a love of learning, a coach who encourages every student, a principal who leads with kindness, or a staff member who always makes students feel welcomed—this is your chance to say thank you in a meaningful way.

With a $10 donation to the foundation, you can officially recognize a Decatur ISD employee as a “Bright Light.” Each honoree will receive a festive gift, a personalized certificate with your name, and recognition on the DEF website, social media, and in the Wise County Messenger.

Let’s make Teacher Appreciation Week extra special by shining a light on the amazing people who support our students every day! ✨

If you have been thinking about giving, now is the time. Early support makes a lasting impact as we come together to meet this need ahead of time so no child starts the year behind.

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. Whether it is $1, $5, $10 or more, anything you feel led to give helps us move closer to meeting this need.

This year, our goal is to raise $𝟏𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 before the start of the 𝟐𝟔'-𝟐𝟕' 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫. We are starting early so our community has plenty of time to come together and make a real difference for local families.
