It’s been rough year for teachers, but time and time again they've met the challenge. Teacher Appreciation Day is May 4, but teachers work very hard and deserve way more than a single day to be appreciated — especially after teaching through a pandemic. In recognition of that, Teacher Appreciation Week lasts from May 3 to May 7, and is a great time to show the educators in our lives just how much all their hard work this year (and every year!) has been appreciated.
What better way to show thanks than a free treat? Many restaurant chains around the nation offering free food and great deals in honor of educators.
Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant
On May 4, all teachers and school staff members will get 20% off their entire check by showing a valid school ID card.
Bruegger's Bagels
There’s no better way to start a busy day than with a bagel, and teachers are pretty busy! Bruegger’s is offering a 20% discount on gift card purchases through May 21.
