***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
Relating to: recognizing May 8 to May 12, 2023, as Teacher Appreciation Week in
Wisconsin.
Whereas, Wisconsin is home to about 60,000 teachers, who help establish the
foundations of knowledge for over 800,000 children in this state; and
Whereas, one teacher has the potential to touch the lives of over 3,000 children
over the course of his or her career; and
Whereas, teachers encourage in their students a love of reading, scientific
curiosity, appreciation for the arts, and the ability to think independently, among
many other things; and
Whereas, teachers can be essential figures in children's lives, looking out for
students who are struggling socially or academically and offering them a helping
hand; and
Whereas, teachers regularly make sacrifices for the sake of their students,
waking up early and staying up late to plan lessons, grade assignments, and
communicate with parents and guardians; and

2023 - 2024 Legislature
Whereas, when budgets are tight, teachers often pay for supplies out of their
own pockets; and
Whereas, although they have faced innumerable challenges in recent years,
teachers have met these challenges with creativity and grace; and
Whereas, the 2023 Wisconsin Teachers of the Year—Kaelee Heideman, Sarah
Kopplin, Lori Danz, Peggy Billing, and Dustin Anderson—exemplify the ideals all
educators aspire to; and
Whereas, the Wisconsin Legislature must recognize the commitment and hard
work of teachers as a first step in addressing a statewide workforce shortage that
threatens serious consequences for our children; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the assembly, the senate concurring, That the Wisconsin
Legislature hereby proclaims May 8 to May 12, 2023, as Teacher Appreciation Week
in Wisconsin.
