In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, GMA is honoring educators, including educators like Mike Peterson, a custodian-turned-substitute at Plymouth Middle School in Plymouth, Minnesota.
Barb Wurdeman, a social studies and science teacher, said she was glad to see Peterson again in the hallways.
After decades of working in the district, Peterson was able to transition into the substitute teacher role seamlessly. “I would say he was a teacher before he actually became a licensed teacher. And so, it started with building those relationships with students and it carried on into the classroom,” said Trotter.
After the check surprise, Peterson shared an encouraging message. "You can succeed. Never stop. Go into it. I'm here for you to help you succeed and all the teachers that I've worked with, they're there for you," he said.
