School workers can get freebies for National Teacher Appreciation Week. Here’s where.
National Teacher Appreciation week starts Monday, and so do special discounts and freebies for school workers.
Fort Worth-area teachers and school employees will find local businesses offering deals all week. Several national chains and businesses are offering goodies as well.
But if something homemade is more your style, the National Parent Teacher Association has free downloadable “thank you” cards and certificates you can print off or send to your favorite educator.
Here’s where teachers can find local and national deals.
