BY: Senator PERSAUD

        MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
        May  4-8,  2020, as Teacher Appreciation Week in the
        State of New York

  WHEREAS, It is the custom of  this  Legislative  Body  to  recognize
official  weeks  that  are  set aside to highlight the men and women who
lend their passion and skills to educating our children; and

  WHEREAS, This  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to  memorialize
Governor  Andrew  M.  Cuomo  to  proclaim  May  4-8,  2020,  as  Teacher
Appreciation Week in the State of New  York,  in  conjunction  with  the
observance of National Teacher Appreciation Week; and

  WHEREAS,  In  addition,  National  Teacher  Appreciation Day will be
celebrated on May 5, 2020; this day focuses on the teachers who work  to
make  public  schools  great  places for students to succeed in life, as
well as to honor teachers and recognize the lasting  contributions  they
make in the lives of their students; and

  WHEREAS,  Our  teachers  are more than purveyors of knowledge in the
classroom, they also serve our students as role models and  mentors  and
positively impact the lives of students well beyond the classroom; and

  WHEREAS,  Few  other  professionals  touch  as  many  people  as  do
teachers; teachers in the State of New York and  in  communities  across
the  Nation  will  be  in  the  spotlight the week of May 6-10, 2019, as
students, parents, school administrators and the  general  public  learn
how teachers are making public schools accessible for every child; and

  WHEREAS,  The  citizens  of  this  great  Empire State recognize our
teachers educate and nurture all students to  be  responsible  citizens,
critical  thinkers and life-long learners to successfully compete in the
global marketplace; and

  WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Legislative Body to recognize  the
educators of New York State who work to open the minds of their students
to new ideas, knowledge and dreams; who keep American democracy alive by
laying  the foundation for good citizenship; who fill many roles such as
listeners, explorers, role  models,  motivators  and  mentors;  and  who
continue to influence their students long after the school days are only
memories; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo  to  proclaim  May  4-8,  2020,  as
Teacher Appreciation Week in the State of New York; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the  State  of
New York.
