There are a lot of things in the world that people can’t seem to agree about, but I feel confident saying we can all agree on this: Teachers are the backbone of society and deserve every bit of support and encouragement that can be showered upon them. National Teacher Appreciation Week is always the first full week of May, making it fall on May 6–10 for 2024, and National Teacher Appreciation Day is Tuesday, May 7.
For the occasion, retailers are stepping up to offer educators exclusive sales, deals and freebies, and we have a list of what you can expect here. Be sure to check back, as we’ll update this list as more offers are announced!
Check out our list of over 50 stores that offer exclusive discounts to teachers.
