Teacher Appreciation Week is an annual celebration held the first full week of May, and in 2025, it takes place from May 4 through May 10. This special week is dedicated to recognizing the incredible dedication, hard work, and impact that teachers have on our lives, both inside and outside the classroom.
“It’s the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.”
... Michael Morpurgo
The highlight of this week is Teacher Appreciation Day on May 5. But one day simply isn't enough to honor the immense contributions teachers make every single day—even a week is barely enough to recognize teachers for everything they do.
“If you look behind every exceptional person there is an exceptional teacher.”
... Stephen Hawking
Teachers shape minds, ignite curiosity, and guide students of all ages through the joys and challenges of learning. Whether you are a teacher, have a teacher, or know someone who teaches, this week is a perfect time to show appreciation for their efforts. From hand-written notes and classroom supplies to simple words of gratitude or community-wide celebrations, there are countless ways to express support for teachers.
Teaching is more than a profession—it's a calling. It demands patience, creativity, compassion, and an unshakable belief in the potential of every student. It's also one of the most time-intensive and emotionally demanding jobs, often carried out with limited resources. Teaching truly is a work of heart! That’s why Teacher Appreciation Week matters: it's our opportunity to say “thank you” to the people who help shape the future.
“Teachers are those who help find strengths, wipe away tears, overpower demons and conquer fears.”

Who of us couldn't recall at least one teacher who left a lasting impression—someone who believed in us, challenged us, or helped us see the world in a new way. During this week, we honor not only those individual mentors but the entire community of educators working every day to make a difference.
“The influence of a good teacher can never be erased.”

So take a moment this week to acknowledge the educators who have helped you or your loved ones grow. A small gesture can go a long way in showing our gratitude to those who give so much.
Teachers
Paint their minds
and guide their thoughts
Share their achievements
and advise their faults
Inspire a Love
of knowledge and truth
As you light the path
Which leads our youth
For our future brightens
with each lesson you teach
Each smile you lengthen
Each goal you help reach
For the dawn of each poet
each philosopher and king
Begins with a Teacher
And the wisdom they bring.
