WHAT IS TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK?
Eleanor Roosevelt initiated National Teacher Appreciation Week in 1953 to recognize and honor the significant contributions of teachers to our society. This week-long celebration serves as a reminder of the vital role teachers play in shaping the future generation. Since 1984, the National PTA (Parent Teacher Association) has designated a full week during the public school year to honor the men and women who lend their passion, skills, hard work, and dedication to educating our children.
WHEN IS TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK 2023?
The first full week of May is designated as National Teacher Appreciation Week by the National PTA and the NEA (National Education Association. This year (2023) some schools are celebrating Monday, May 1 through Friday, May 5th while others are holding it Monday, May 8, 2023, through Friday, May 12, 2023.
Teacher Appreciation Day is on the Tuesday of the first full week - so this year that could be May 2nd or May 9th depending on which week is being honored in your school!
