It’s time for my annual roundup of special deals for Teacher Appreciation Week! It’s nice that some businesses offer educators discounts during the first week of May but I think it’d be even nicer if teachers were appreciated every week of the year. I’m publishing a few days earlier than usual so you can take full advantage of as many of these offers as possible.
(Updated Monday afternoon, May 6th, with info about special deals from TESOL Int’l Association)
For flyers, certificates, and social media images to promote Teacher Appreciation Week in your school or community, check out the National PTA materials on their website. They also link to coupons from OfficeDepot/Office Max for discounts on select items good through May 4th and good through May 11th.

The places listed below are offering special deals
this May. Some of them are nationwide and others are regional but they all have locations in at least 5 states. Many other businesses offer
discounts to educators throughout the year but I did not include them in
this round up. Just click on the green links to go to their websites for
more information. (I looked at all the websites to verify the info and it was accurate at the time I wrote this blog post.)

More Discount Roundups
These websites list even more discounts for teachers but they’re too numerous to
show individually so I’m just including the link to those sites’ homepages. I haven’t
verified all the links so I can’t vouch for their accuracy.
