This Teacher Appreciation Week (and every week!), we want to thank our community of MƒA teachers, as well as teachers across New York City and beyond, for all that you do. We have enormous respect for you as expert professionals and as mathematicians and scientists who make a lasting impact on your students, schools, and communities. 

We celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week with our #MfAThankATeacher campaign, highlighting messages of appreciation to MƒA teachers from MƒA teachers on social media. Below are just a handful of the 150+ messages shared. You can find more highlights from our campaign on our Twitter and Instagram pages with #MfAThankATeacher.
