Students from St. Alphonsus/St. Patrick School in Lemont celebrated a special group of moms this Mother's Day while raising money for Relay for Life.

Monday marked the start of Teacher Appreciation Week across the United States, and Patch wants to pay tribute to all of the hardworking, dedicated teachers in Lemont. Schools will be celebrating in all sorts of ways all week long. I thought it might be fun to honor those that you trust with your children 35 hours a week, nine months a year. So, with that in mind I’d like to invite everyone to give a shout-out to your kids’ current teacher or one who has made a difference in their lives or education. Whether your student attends school in Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A, Lemont High School District 210, Everest Academy, St. Al's/St. Pat's or St. Cyril's, we want to hear from you. Show your appreciation in the comments below.
