Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6-10, 2024.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

We’re celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week to honor and recognize the amazing teachers who change the lives of students every day and inspire the future leaders of tomorrow.

First established in 1953 by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt herself, Teacher Appreciation Week became a full week national holiday in 1984. Organizations like the National Education Association and National PTA believed that teachers play a critical role in driving the success of our children’s education and lives. 

And we couldn’t agree more.

Thank you teachers for everything you do, for believing in us, imparting wisdom, and being the reason behind so much good in this world!

Teachers, treat yourself!
