So Tuesday, April 7, is Teacher Appreciation Day, which fits nicely into this Teacher Appreciation Week, which just so happens to coincide with this being Teacher Appreciate Month. The point is, teachers, we appreciate you. And if we don’t say it enough, there are a lot of folks out there who would like to show you in the best, most meaningful way: discounts.
Today, this week and this month, retailers of all kinds are offering teachers myriad special offers, discounts and fried food. Here’s just a few.
Oh, and thanks!
