On the occasion of Teachers' Day, the Mayor of Odesa, Gennady Trukhanov, addressed the educational community with warm words of support.

«Dear educators!

Accept my sincere congratulations on your professional holiday!

Today and every day, I am grateful not only for the knowledge you impart to children but also for the culture you instill and the hearts you open. You teach through nurturing and by your own example – in kindness, love, and mutual respect. You do not just teach subjects; you shape worldviews, characters, and humanity.

Today we celebrate not only teachers but everyone who contributes to creating an educational environment.

Those who prepare delicious and healthy breakfasts, fostering national health.

Those who clean the halls, fix the lights, and open the doors so that each school day begins with warmth.

Those who coordinate, analyze, and evaluate to ensure the system is alive, fair, and capable.

Your conversations, experiences, and daily presence are not just a job. This is a collective effort to nurture the future! This is Odessa, which knows how to listen, support, and inspire!

Thank you for your humanity, patience, and daily kindness.

May there be trust in your teams, calm in your hearts, and gratitude and joy in your lives.

Happy Teachers' Day!

Respectfully,

Gennady Trukhanov»
