💐 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 🌷

Get ready to celebrate our incredible SWE teachers next week, May 5th - 9th, for Teacher Appreciation Week! Check out these fun ways to show them some love each day:
Monday: "Mindful Monday" - Write letters or cards of gratitude to your teachers!
Tuesday: "We Couldn't Have Picked Better Teachers Than You!" - Brighten their day with a beautiful flower.
Wednesday: "Teachers Are Truly A Gift" - Consider purchasing a small gift card to show your appreciation.
Thursday: "Thirsty Thursday" - Bring your teacher a refreshing soft drink and a sweet or salty treat.
Friday: "Teacher Workday" - No school for students, but let's carry the appreciation throughout the week!
Let's make this Teacher Appreciation Week the best one yet! ❤️🍎 #TeacherAppreciationWeek #SWEBruins #ThankATeacher
