No. 2025-02
Proclaiming May as Frontline Worker Appreciation Month
Whereas, frontline workers are the builders of our community, exercising curiosity, compassion, courage, and creativity to provide essential services that ensure the safety, health,
and education of our residents; and
Whereas, over 9 million healthcare workers across the United States serve in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities, often placing themselves at risk to provide lifesaving
care; and
Whereas, firefighters respond to an estimated 36 million emergency calls each year, over 800,000 sworn law enforcement officers nationwide work tirelessly to uphold the law and ensure
public safety, and emergency medical services (EMS) personnel respond to more than 240 million calls annually; and
Whereas, teachers dedicate their careers to shaping the future of our communities, with over 3.7 million educators in the U.S. providing knowledge and guidance to our youth; and
Whereas, frontline workers embody the essence of Builders - flexible thinkers and constructive problem solvers who respect the dignity of all people - by dedicating themselves to overcoming
challenges and uniting communities.
Now, Therefore, Be It Proclaimed, I, Jerry Merrill, Mayor of Rexburg, Idaho, do hereby proclaim the month of May as
FRONTLINE WORKER APPRECIATION MONTH
in the City of Rexburg and encourage all residents to join in recognizing and honoring the heroic contributions of our healthcare workers, firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS
personnel, and teachers.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the City of Rexburg to be affixed on this 7th day of May of the year of our Lord, two thousand twenty-five.
