A Little History on Teacher Appreciation
The roots of recognizing teachers go back to 1953 when former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt advocated for a day dedicated to thanking educators. Originally celebrated on March 7, this observance was moved to May in 1984, and since then, the first full week of May has been designated as Teacher Appreciation Week. This year, it’s happening from May 5 to May 9. During this special week, various businesses step up, offering discounts and free goodies for educators. Be on the lookout for special deals that pop up around National Teachers Day, which is on May 6!
Delicious Deals and Offers!
If being honored weren’t enough, educators can cash in on some delicious deals thanks to local businesses. Chipotle is giving away 100,000 free burrito e-cards to teachers and healthcare workers who verify their ID. Plus, how about a tasty breakfast? Whataburger has a free breakfast item waiting for teachers in the morning hours! There are lovely treats from other brands, ranging from a 20% discount at Einstein Bros. Bagels to buy one, get one free cookies at Insomnia Cookies. Sounds delightful, doesn’t it?
We know that teaching is a tough job, so these deals and discounts are just a small way to show how much they are valued. Don’t forget that some of these offers require valid school IDs, so it’s always a good idea to check ahead before planning your treat yourself day!
Mark Your Calendar!
So, mark your calendars for September 5th through September 7th, and let’s celebrate teachers in a big way at Ripley’s! Bring your friends and family, and let’s show our teachers just how much they are appreciated!
