Teacher of
Today
 History
echoes with the names of great teachers--Thoth,
Hermes, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Duns Scotus,
Sidhartha, Mann--and so many others. These men
and women have made the greatest contribution to
the world anyone can make; they have ensured the
future. We have only to look at the products of
technology which make our lives easier, the
advances in medicine which make our lives
longer, or the advances in the arts which make
our lives worth living, to realize the
importance of teachers. Without great teachers
to prepare the scientists, doctors, inventors
and thinkers of the next generation,
civilization falls.
Freemasonry in
Oklahoma uses the
Teacher of Today program to say "thanks" to
those hundreds of teachers across our state who
make a daily difference in the lives of our
children. Certificates are sent to the Lodges
for presentation to the outstanding teachers in
their area. This, in addition to our support of
the Oklahoma State Teacher of the Year program
helps to insure that teachers know others
recognize and appreciate their efforts. It is
little enough to express our appreciation to
these men and women who carry the burden of the
future on their shoulders.
In 2007, the
Foundation prepared 844 Teacher of Today
certificates for presentation by 181
participating Lodges. |
