May 7, 2024 is National Teacher Appreciation Day! 🎉

In the United States, there are 3.8 million teachers. Especially now, it is important that teachers know how much their hard work is appreciated. Teacher shortages continue to plague the U.S. with 86% of public schools struggling to hire educators. *

We can all think of a teacher that was, or is, encouraging and helped shape who we are today. Whether it was the kindergarten teacher that helped teach you the alphabet or the college professor that provided guidance through writing your thesis, you can thank them by signing this petition.

🙌 Pledge to say "Thanks" and add your name to show support at https://theliteracysite.greatergood.com/clicktogive/lit/petition/ThankATeacher
