President and Mrs. Bush Meet with 2007 National and State Teachers of the Year - April 25, 2007

President Bush on Thursday said, “We’re lucky to have teachers like we do in America, men and women who are drawn to the classroom with a desire to serve something larger than themselves. So on behalf of a grateful nation, I thank you for your tough work

and your dedication. I thank you for preparing our young children for the challenges of the 21st century. And I thank you for all you do every day to help build a better America.”
