As the COVID-19 pandemic continues
making all elements of everyday
life challenging, particularly for
all involved in the field of education
across New York City, Bronx public
charter schools launched a holiday
campaign to thank teachers for their
sacrifices during the 2020 crisis.
Called the “Thank a Teacher”
campaign, it includes a digital video
ad, as well as a website which allows
parents and families to send notes of
thanks and encouragement to teachers
at all types of Bronx schools.
The charter school group said
that as result of remote learning,
Bronx communities came together
to recognize the dedication and sacrifices
of countless teachers across
the borough — regardless of if they
are educating our kids at home or
in a classroom, at public, charter or
private schools.
“Our teachers have been lifelines
for so many families during this
pandemic,” said Janelle Bradshaw,
CEO at Public Prep. “Throughout
the borough, teachers have shown
resilience and determination. This
pandemic has required everyone to
adapt to new circumstances, and we
thank our educators for continuing
to support our students’ academic
success and educational journey.”
Founder of Mott Haven Academy,
Jessica Nauiokas called teachers heroes
during this trying time, saying
“regardless of the situation, they
have made it clear that they are committed
to students’ excellence and
education. They’ve proven that their
impact on students’ lives goes beyond
the traditional classroom. They
are our children’s cheerleaders, role
models and support systems. We’re

such a difficult time,”
That sentiment was reiterated by
Jai Nanda, founder and executive
director at Urban Dove, who said
“without our teachers, our students
would be at a grave educational disadvantage.
Their sacrifice has made
all the difference.”
Lester Long, executive director at
Classical Charter Schools even compared
teachers to doctors, nurses
and first-responders.
“Our local teachers are frontline
heroes who have not stopped working
during the pandemic,” Long
said. “We cannot thank our teachers
enough for stepping in and stepping
during this time. You have made all
the difference in our students’ lives.
