    (1) coordinating remote and hybrid learning;

    (2) supporting the mental health of students;

    (3) providing meals to students in need; and

    (4) distributing technology to students;

    Whereas the purposes of National Teacher Appreciation Week, celebrated from May 3, 2021, through May 7, 2021, are—

    (1) to raise public awareness of the unquantifiable contributions of teachers; and

    (2) to promote greater respect and understanding for the teaching profession; and

    Whereas students, schools, communities, and a number of organizations representing educators are recognizing the importance of teachers during National Teacher Appreciation Week: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved,

That the Senate—

(1) thanks the teachers of the United States; and
