Our teachers are world-class educators who inspire, engage, and empower all learners to achieve their highest potential! There is no competition...our teachers take the gold! We hope you will join us during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 6-10) to celebrate the gold medal work they perform each day in the classroom! 🥇
An act or gift of gratitude does not need to be extravagant to be effective - as we all know, it's the thought that counts.
Send a Teacher a Gold Medal Message
We encourage students, parents, community members, and even colleagues to celebrate their favorite teachers. We have created a form that will automatically send your teacher a message of gratitude. There is no limit on how many messages you can send - so don't let that stop you from expressing all of your gratitude! We encourage you to share how they helped shape your (or your child's) future or remind them of a gold-medal moment that mattered to you. Your message will be delivered with care to your teacher and could also be featured on our website or social media channels.
Whether it's for a current teacher or a teacher from a previous semester or school year, there's no time like the present to express your gratitude for everything they do to support students.
Visit Your School Website
If you are interested in doing more to recognize your teacher, we encourage you to check with your school or PTA to see if they have other special celebrations planned. At the very least, we hope you will take the time to send a note to cheer for your favorite champion in the classroom!
