Teacher Appreciation Week
Teacher Appreciation Week is a week-long holiday that takes place in the first full week of May each year.
This is a week for parents and their kids to recognize the important role teachers play in shaping the lives of students, families, and communities.
Teacher Appreciation Day is celebrated on the Tuesday of Teacher Appreciation Week.
Ways To Honor Teachers
My son’s elementary school PTO organizes all sorts of things every day during Teacher Appreciation Week and parents can contribute with donations to make it a success.
If your kid’s school doesn’t celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week or you’re looking to add an extra touch for a very special teacher, here are some ideas:
- Write a thank you note.
- Put together a small teacher gift basket.
- Volunteer your time in the classroom.
One year I coordinated with the parents of all the kids in my son’s class and we made this handprint flower bouquet for the teacher. It took some coordination, but the result was stunning.
