They have been called “our most valuable assets,” and faculty at the Jewish Educational Center have earned the respect and appreciation of not only their students and parents, but administration as well.

Last week, during National Teacher Appreciation Week, faculty of the JEC lower school were shown a small but delicious token of appreciation, courtesy of the administration.

“It’s always important amidst all the everyday excitement to take a step back and thank those who make our school great,” said Rabbi Uzi Beer, JEC lower school principal.

From the smiling faces around the tables, it was clear that the feeling of appreciation is mutual.
