A Christian church in this part of the country recently conducted a party to recognize and honor the contributions of educators.

The Dewey Christian Church (DCC) on March 24, 2009 held the banquet at Outlaws Chop House that made the teachers very happy and fulfilled. They knew the recognition of their contribution to society is very important to them. In this way, they can be encouraged more to improve their efforts and to always renew commitment to serve the students in the communities as far as education aspect.

The DCC’s main goal is to inform the teachers how much they are loved and also appreciated. They treat the teachers with a sumptuous meal while the members of the family were responsible for theirs. DCC has seen this activity as a very important tool to make the teachers proud of their profession. Teaching, DCC officials said is a commitment and teachers should be very motivated to become very effective.
