Never have our teachers been more appreciated as parents have had a glimpse into their job thanks to distance learning. For Teacher Appreciation, we’ve gathered FREE printables, items and activities that you and your students can use to celebrate teachers all month long. We want to recognize everything teachers did before the pandemic and all they are doing now to keep our students learning. Please share these resources on your own social media channels (use #publicschoolsstrong and #thankateacher) so that others may celebrate teachers with us!

Custom Cards
Use our customizable cards to send a sweet note to your teachers. Print our thank you cards and send them via snail mail (if you have their address). Print the coloring pages and email your masterpiece to your teachers.
Printable Signs
Send a shout out to your teachers today. Take a picture of your student holding one of our printable signs. Email it to their teachers. Or, take a video of your student saying a special message. Use the picture and/or video to do a social media post celebrating teachers and use the hashtags #publicschoolsstrong and #thankateacher so we can follow along!
Thoughtful Gifts
Make a small gift for your teachers today. Email them our free, printable bookmarks or download our affirmation cards to brighten their day. Or- color your own set of bookmarks for a more personal gift. Email them our Dr. Seuss-inspired, printable poem to show them how much you appreciate them.
Special Recognition
Show teachers how you feel about them today. Have your student fill out the About My Teacher worksheet and send their insights to their teachers. Post one of our printable signs on your front door showing the world your appreciation. Send a picture of it to your student’s teachers. If you have a teacher in your neighborhood, post one of our printable signs on their house to give them the recognition they deserve.
Gifts for Every Budget
Send your teacher a gift today. We have ideas for every budget including FREE! You can also donate a gift to a local charity in your teacher’s name.
FREE Animated Greeting Cards

Google free, animated greeting cards to find a fun card to send to your teacher. Websites like Smilebox, Bluemountain, and Jibjab will let you select a card, customize it, and send a smile to your teachers.
E-Gift Card for Food or Coffee

E-gift cards are a great way to send your teacher a small token of appreciation. Coffee shops, food delivery services and grocers offer online gift cards. Shop local and send your teacher a gift card to a favorite, neighborhood restaurant.
Donate to a Local Charity

Make an online donation to a teachers classroom via DonorsChoose.org or a local charity in honor of your teacher. Many organizations are helping to support our neighbors during this crisis and are accepting online donations.
We Appreciate Teachers
We put together a video of some of the hard-working teachers we know. They shared pictures of their new “classrooms” with us. Thank you to all of the amazing teachers for teaching from their hearts!
