A Thanksgiving Letter to Utah’s Educators from First Lady Abby Cox

Dear Teacher Friends,

During this Thanksgiving season, I want to express my gratitude for the passion, dedication, and service you bring to your profession. The significance of your challenging work and the pivotal role you play in shaping our state’s rising generation cannot be overstated. Not only do you educate, but you also mentor, counsel, and inspire our children. I am deeply grateful for each one of you!

My unwavering goal remains to support your mental health and equip you with the enduring skills you need. Having been a former special education teacher, I understand the demands of your job, and I am committed to ensuring you feel supported and appreciated.

As we approach the 2024 legislative session, I urge you to reach out to your local legislators. Share with them your triumphs, challenges, and your personal stories. At our last Show Up for Teachers conference, we witnessed the power and transformation that arose from conversations between legislators and teachers. Our collective voices can further elevate your profession.

Wishing you a joyful Thanksgiving season,
Abby Cox
