On the occasion of Teacher's Day, the mayor of Odesa, Gennady Trukhanov, addressed the city's educators with warm words of gratitude and support.
«Dear educators!
I extend my heartfelt congratulations on your professional holiday!
Today, and every day, I thank you not only for the knowledge you impart to children but also for the culture you instill, for the hearts you open. You teach through example, nurturing kindness, love, and respect. You do not just teach subjects; you shape worldviews, character, and humanity.
Today, we celebrate not only the teachers but everyone who contributes to the educational environment.
These are the individuals who prepare delicious and nutritious breakfasts, contributing to the nation's health.
These are the ones who clean the hallways, fix the lights, and open the doors to ensure every school day starts with warmth.
These are the ones who coordinate, analyze, and evaluate to keep the system alive, fair, and efficient.
Your conversations, your experience, your daily presence – this is not just work. It is a collective effort to nurture the future! This is Odessa, a city that knows how to listen, support, and inspire!
Thank you for your humanity, endurance, and daily kindness.
May there be trust in your teams, peace in your hearts, and gratitude and joy in your lives.
Happy Teacher's Day!
Respectfully
Gennady Trukhanov»
