Teacher Appreciation Discounts and Freebies 2023

Check out these Teacher Appreciation Crafts!

Teacher Appreciation week is traditionally the first full week in May (unless your school does something different).  It appears from looking around for 2023 the official week is May 8 through May 12th.  I will update this list as things come out but we do have two current deals for May 2nd!

Just take note that in order to take advantage of these offers and deals, you’ll need to show a valid I.D. to prove that you are a teacher.  And if you are making a special trip I would call to confirm as some locations may choose not to participate!
