Teacher Appreciation Week is May 8-12, 2017. This year’s theme is “Teachers Deliver.” And they do! Teachers deliver so much to our students: inspiration, motivation, and ultimately, their futures. Teacher Appreciation Week is a great opportunity, to celebrate teachers and deliver our thanks and gratitude to them.
Teachers change the lives of millions of children every day, and their work and impact extends far beyond the boundaries of the classroom. #ThankATeacher for all that they deliver to our nation’s children.
