Jennifer Garner recently expressed her profound gratitude to teachers in a heartfelt tribute posted on Instagram on June 13. As the school year came to a close and summer break began, the “Alias” star took a moment to thank the educators who have been a significant part of her children’s lives. Garner shares three children—Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—with her ex-husband Ben Affleck.
“Thank you for caring about my children with me,” Jennifer wrote, “for tying their shoes and holding their hands. Thank you for disciplining my kids when they’ve needed it and for offering more hugs than some children receive in a lifetime.”
The 52-year-old actress expressed her deep appreciation for the dedication and hard work of the teachers. “I’m sure that the demands and frustrations of the classroom can obfuscate the mission behind your place in it,” she added, “but what’s more noble than teaching children—not a whole lot, as far as I can tell.”
Garner emphasized her gratitude for the safe and nurturing environment the teachers provided, allowing her children to focus on their growth and education. “I wanted my three to have a safe space where they could focus on the business of being little,” she continued, “and where education and character were prioritized.”
Highlighting the teachers’ extra efforts, Garner mentioned how they dressed up for Halloween, found the “perfect book/science project/Spanish song” for each child, and even traveled with 40 students. “Thank you for a beautiful thirteen years,” she concluded. “I cannot imagine our family landing anywhere better.”
This period has been especially emotional for Jennifer, as she recently celebrated both her son Samuel’s elementary school graduation and her daughter Violet’s high school graduation. On May 20, she posted on Instagram, sharing her feelings with a touch of humor: “Tell me you have a graduate without telling me you have a graduate,” along with photos and videos of her wiping tears and clapping for the graduates. “Bless our hearts,” she added.
Garner’s heartfelt message underscores the vital role teachers play in shaping young lives and the profound impact they have on families.
