Teachers are AMAZING! Most teachers teach because they want to make a difference in a child’s life. Teachers don’t get paid what they are worth, but there is a way we can show our support during Teacher Appreciation Month. Did you know a lot of teachers pay for supplies and other classroom items out of their own money? That is so frustrating from a parents view. We have a couple of exciting things for our readers on how they can help TEACHERS!
Teacher Appreciation Month
May is all about the TEACHERS! When my kids were in elementary school, we would hold a week-long celebration. Teachers deserve all the support and appreciation all year long but so thankful they have a month that we can shower them with goodies. SONIC is celebrating Teacher Appreciation Month through its Limeades for Learning philanthropic initiative. Starting Wednesday, May 8, SONIC is launching a $1 million donation match with DonorsChoose.org to help public school teachers get the essential supplies they need to inspire their students.

More About DonorsChoose.Org
DonorsChoose.Org has been helping teachers and of course the KIDS for a long time. They provide an opportunity for people (not just parents) help teachers fund certain projects they want to do with their students. It can be for books, computers, a field trip or anything they feel will assist in their teaching. Every year I pick a project from my kid’s school and DONATE after I do that I always get such a warm thank you from the teachers plus progress reports on the project. Supporting my kid’s school is a must in my book because not only at home it takes a tribe, but it takes a tribe at school too. We want our kids to excel and get the best darn education they can get so why not help the situation.
I can’t say enough about DonorsChoose.org– you need to take that step to help.
FREE PRINTABLE:
You are more than welcome to download and PRINT this printable up for your favorite teacher. Gift idea: get an 8×11 frame and print this freebie out then put in a frame- now you have a cool picture to give to a teacher! Just click on the image!

My girlfriend, Marissa Giovacchini, is a kindergarten teacher that works her tail off for her students every single day. I have never seen anyone so devoted to her work and the sincerity that goes into every action when it comes to school and the betterment of her students learning experience. All she ever talks about is what she can do for them.
Thank you
I would love to win this for my wiggly squiggly kindergarten kiddos that need some flexible seating options. I’d also love to get more STEM activities. There are so many great options out there these days but unfortunately very expensive.
My girlfriend, Marissa Giovacchini, is the hardest working kindergarten teacher I have had the pleasure to meet. All her effort and time is directed to her students and the betterment of their learning experience, Marissa’s devotion is the epitome what a teacher is. I would love to support her and her deserving students.
Thank you
I would love to win to help out my grand kids classrooms.
