Dear Friends,

Teachers are true nation builders. Without them, no other profession would be possible. They inspire and change lives. They go above and beyond day in and day out. They often don’t receive enough recognition for the countless things they do to ensure every one of their kids has the best education.

At the beginning of 2016, Secretary of Education John B. King, Jr. made it a priority to lift up the teaching profession and celebrate and support our teachers. That’s why we’re planning the biggest National Teacher Appreciation Week yet!

But we can’t do this alone. During the week of May 2-6, we are asking that you help us acknowledge and celebrate all the amazing teachers in your life.

We’ve put together this digital toolkit for you to celebrate the teachers who made an impact on your life. In this toolkit, you’ll find avatars and shareable graphics for social media, ideas of what to post, and instructions on how you can join in the celebration.

We hope you’ll join in and help us lift up all the excellent teachers across the country. We look forward to celebrating all of the amazing work they do and the effect they have beyond the classroom. After all, teaching is the profession that launches every career, and that is worth celebrating.

Sincerely,

The U.S. Department of Education
