Teachers are basically superheroes, but they don’t always get the credit they deserve. During one special week, however, their endless dedication is recognized.
Teacher Appreciation Week officially runs from Monday, May 5 to Friday, May 9 — and many brands are rolling out sales to celebrate teachers’ hard work. From school supplies to clothes and everything in between (even food deals for Teacher Appreciation Week!), there are plenty of sales to scoop up, and we’ve outlined a few of our favorites below.
Since teachers should be recognized all year long, we’ve also included a few year-round discounts you can score with your teacher ID any time of year.
