Everyone appreciates teachers

Teachers are the engine that makes schools run, and on the week May 5-9—National Teacher Appreciation Week—local and national businesses in the community are taking the time to thank them for all they do to make sure children have brighter futures. Some are concentrating their efforts on National Teacher Day, which takes place on May 6.

If you want to thank a teacher, the National PTA has created a special thank you card that can be downloaded here
