Mayor's Tribute on Teacher's Day in Odesa
On the occasion of Teacher's Day, Odesa's Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov addressed the educational community with heartfelt words of support.
«Dear educators!
Congratulations on your special day!
Every day, I am grateful to you not only for the knowledge you impart to children but also for the culture you nurture, for the hearts you open. You teach not just subjects but life lessons - in kindness, love, and mutual respect. You are not merely instructors - you shape character, worldview, and humanity.
Today, we celebrate not only teachers but everyone who contributes to the educational landscape.
These are the individuals who prepare nutritious breakfasts, fostering national health.
These are the people who maintain cleanliness in the corridors, fix the lights, and open doors so that every school day begins with warmth.
These are those who coordinate, analyze, and evaluate to keep the education system alive, fair, and capable.
Your conversations, your experiences, your daily presence - this is not just work. This is a collective effort in nurturing the future! This is Odessa, a city that listens, supports, and inspires!
Thank you for your humanity, patience, and daily kindness.
May trust prevail in your teams, peace in your hearts, and gratitude and joy in your lives.
Happy Teacher's Day!
Respectfully,
Gennadiy Trukhanov»
