Celebrating Teacher's Day

On the occasion of Teacher's Day, Odesa's Mayor Gennady Trukhanov extended heartfelt words of gratitude and support to the educational community of the city.

«Dear educators!

I congratulate you on your professional holiday!

Today and every day, I thank you not just for the knowledge you impart to our children but for the culture you foster and the hearts you open. You teach through nurturing, through your own example - in kindness, love, and mutual respect. You do not just teach subjects - you shape worldviews, character, and humanity.

Today we honor not only teachers but everyone who contributes to the educational environment.

These are the ones who prepare delicious and healthy breakfasts, nurturing the nation's health.

These are the ones who keep the corridors clean, fix the lights, and open the doors so that every day at school begins with warmth.

These are the ones who coordinate, analyze, and evaluate to keep the system alive, fair, and capable.

Your conversations, your experiences, your daily presence - this is not just work. It is a shared commitment to nurturing the future! This is Odessa, a city that knows how to listen, support, and inspire!

Thank you for your humanity, your endurance, and your 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»
