Steve’s Flowers and Gifts Inc.
Family Owned and Operated
Steve’s Flowers and Gifts Inc. was founded in 1973 by Steve and Linda Huth. As Steve was attending college, he worked for a local flower shop, delivering, doing odd jobs, and eventually designing. Steve had dreams of opening his own floral facility on the south side of Indianapolis, and when opportunity came, he went to work to make it happen. His philosophy from the start was making sure his customers were happily satisfied. The dedication and commitment towards his goal allowed Steve to move into a larger facility in 1976, and opened a second location in the fast growing town of Greenwood in 1982. In October of 1988, Steve designed and had built his own building which consists of 7,000 square feet.

World Teachers Day October 5th
The history of World Teachers Day reveals that it was first officially created on October 5, 1994. However, the concept actually occurred earlier in 1966 when there was a conference in Paris with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizations (UNESCO) and the International Labor Organization (ILO). These groups felt there was a need to better define teachers rights, responsibilities and general areas of the teaching profession in all countries.
Around the globe, World Teachers Day is a day when teachers are honored for the great things they do to educate young and old alike. Most of us have fond memories of at least one special teacher. That person that made learning fun and made you feel like you could conquer the world. For me it was my third grade teacher, Mrs. Robinson. There was never a day when I did not want to hurry and get ready for school.
Sometimes referred to as International Teachers Day, October 5th is a day when we can do special things for teachers to show sincere appreciation for all the contributions they make in shaping our world. Each year there is a different theme for the day. Below are some past themes and the current theme for 2020:
- 2016 – Valuing Teachers and helping to improve their status
- 2017 – Empowering Teachers to do more
- 2018 – The right to education means the right to a qualified teacher
- 2019 – Young Teachers: The Future of the Profession
- 2020 – For 2020 it is no surprise the pandemic has created new challenges for teachers. Dealing with the rotating schedules of virtual and in class teaching plus the anxiety of students is a new experience. Therefore the theme this year is “Teachers: Leading in crisis, reimagining the future”.
For teachers this is a great time to think back on a person who influenced them to choose teaching as a profession. What a great day to reach out to them and let them know how they so positively impacted your life. As a teacher ask your students to think back on the things that they value in a teacher and even name a few of their favorites. Make it fun by giving them paper and drawing utensils so they can create a poem, letter or thank you card expressing their gratitude.
If you are part of the school administration, make it a point to celebrate World Teachers Day. Your support for the teachers and encouragement for the parents and students to do the same can result in creative and meaningful memories. Using social media virtual school presentations will go along way to motivate and keep teachers focused and digging deep to teach. Here are some facts to share with parents and students to help them better understand the challenges female teachers face:
- In the country of India for example, there are many remote regions where the number of female teachers is sparse. Basically half the number of teachers in remote places.
- There is a disproportionate number of female to male teachers in pre-primary education verses in upper secondary education.
- Women tend to have higher numbers of being teachers for primary education in low-income countries than in higher income countries. About half the number.
There are lots of other interesting facts surrounding the teaching profession like teachers are the third most trusted profession in the UK following doctors and nurses. Primary school teachers spend on average about 782 years per year teaching. There are over 100 countries that celebrate World Teachers Day. And the term “teachers pet” is thought to date back to 1890.
