💐 As we prepare to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5-9), we invite you to reflect on the educators who've made a difference in your life or your child's journey. Who is that special teacher who goes above and beyond, planting seeds of curiosity and helping students grow into their best selves? 🏵️

❤️ Now's your chance to let them know how much they matter! We've created a simple way to send your teacher a heartfelt message of gratitude that will brighten their day during this special week. Your words of appreciation will be delivered directly to them and might even be featured on our platforms to inspire our entire community.

👉 Share your appreciation: https://www.cpschools.com/article/2176065

🌦️ Let's shower our amazing educators with the recognition they deserve! #CPSTAW25 🌷
