[1]Bowman for Congress
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week,
John!
While every week should be Teacher Appreciation Week, I wanted to take
some time today to specifically acknowledge and appreciate the teachers,
educators, counselors, and mentors amongst us who nurture the future of
humankind. I see you and I honor you.
I'm proud to be one of the few members of Congress who's a public school
educator. I used to say that if you can run a middle school effectively in
the Bronx as I have, you have the experience to serve in Congress.
My decades of experience in the classroom and in our schools has given me
an incredible amount of knowledge when it comes to how I legislate,
represent my district of the Bronx and Westchester, and push for our
progressive values.

Week, will you please share your story about a teacher that changed your
life — and how they did it?
Share your story »
I'll start: I've been lucky enough to work with some incredible teachers
throughout my career. But as a student, my favorite teacher was my 5th and
6th grade teacher, Ms. James. She gave us individualized attention to
support all students in the exact way we needed. In one word: empathy.
Teachers, especially in public schools, have changed and saved millions of
lives. Their work is what love looks like in action. I want all of us to
remember and honor that, particularly as we continue the fight to center
care in our economy — and to transform our nation into the one that we
deserve.

teacher that changed your life. Later this week, we'll be sharing some
stories out over email (with your consent, of course).
Peace and love,
Jamaal
