National Education Week Recognized By OHS Student Council

By Shannon Morr, OHS Torch Reporter


During the week of November 16-20, Olympia High School Student Council will be acknowledging National Education Week by providing the high school teachers and administration with goodies throughout the week.


Junior Natalie Stone said, “We want to show how much we appreciate them.”


This week allows Americans to honor individuals who are making a difference and helping every child receive a quality education. This year’s theme is “Great Public Schools: A Basic Right and Our Responsibility”.


Each day the Student Council will be providing a different treat for the teachers and administrators including breakfast, lunch, snacks or gifts.


“We use this week as a thank you. The teachers really love the food days and we make the week more positive for them,” said Student Council Sponsor Brandi Cooper.


Teacher Rebecca Meissner said, “I’m wildly excited if I don’t have to pack a lunch. I love free lunch!”


The first observance of American Education Week occurred in 1921. It is always celebrated the week before thanksgiving.



“The teachers do so much for us, it’s nice for us to do something for them in return,” said Junior Reagan Brown.
