On the occasion of Teacher's Day, Odesa's Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov addressed the city's educators with warm words of appreciation.

«Dear educators!

I extend my sincere congratulations on your professional holiday!

Today and every day, I thank you 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, through your own example – in kindness, love, and mutual respect. You do not simply teach subjects; you shape worldviews, character, and humanity.

Today we celebrate not just the teachers but everyone who contributes to creating an educational space.

This includes those who prepare delicious and nutritious breakfasts, contributing to the nation's health.

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

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

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

Thank you for your humanity, your patience, 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

Gennadiy Trukhanov»
