THANK A TEACHER! Teacher Appreciation Week is May 5-9, 2025

The first week of May is celebrated annually as “National Teacher Appreciation Week”.  We value the education that our children and grandchildren receive from tireless educators who nurture them daily, both in learning and social skills.  Have you ever been in a classroom with 20+ students?  You can understand the frustrations endured, the patience required and the need to support our educational system EVERY SINGLE DAY!  Maybe just being home on a “no school” day with your kiddos gives you a good idea of how a typical day goes - and then multiply that by 20!   We want the BEST for our students - let’s give the BEST to our teachers! (Think Smoking Gun Beef Jerky!)  How about honoring them with a nutritional JERKY appreciation package too?

Here is a link for this annual recognition with some insights on how to thank someone involved in the school system who nurtures our most prized possessions. https://www.nea.org/TAW

 If YOU are a teacher or school employee yourself, we appreciate you!  We hope you know what a difference you make in the growth of our children.  You help them learn and grow into responsible and caring  humans, and there is no greater reward than that!  Be blessed!
