Teacher Appreciation Week is May 3 - 7 and this year it is more well-deserved than ever before. Be sure to take a moment to honor and celebrate teachers for the contributions they make to our children’s education. They have superpowers that are irreplaceable and essential. Teachers have rapidly adapted their curriculum at record-breaking speed to best help with at-home learning during this global crisis!

Since we can’t show up this year and personally express our gratitude, take time this week to recognize how amazing teachers are, how much they are appreciated and how they make a difference. #ThankATeacher for their flexibility and support in this difficult time.

GIFTS IDEAS FOR TEACHERS

Local Restaurant

A teacher has to eat so why not support a local restaurant with a digital gift card. It’s best to select a restaurant near to where the teacher lives OR to a restaurant delivery service so your teacher can select their own favorite place to eat such as:
**Dine In Marin**
**Dinner Ready**
**Door Dash**
**Grub Hub**
**Postmates**
**Uber Eats**

Pre-Made Meal/Food Delivery Services

Stay healthy and eat great while sheltering in place with the professionally prepared menu options at one of these meal delivery services for teachers to make at home:
**Blue Apron**
**Good Eggs**
**Jessie and Laurent**
**Marley Spoon**
**Sun Basket**
**Thistle**
**Veestro**

Independent Bookseller

Gift certificates for bookstores are absolutely essential during times like these and teachers can redeemed for online purchases. A great way to support teachers and help one of these favorite local bookshops:
**Book Passage**
**Copperfield’s Books**
**Green Apple Books**
**The Booksmith**
**Dog Eared Books**
**Pegasus Books**
**Books Inc.**

Support The Arts

The arts are financially vulnerable even in the best of times, but now even more so as coronavirus spreads. Museums, theaters, concert halls and stages of all sizes have been forced to close. Consider a subscription, membership or gift an online class to a local arts venue:
**Marin Theatre Company**
**Marin Symphony**
**San Francisco Symphony**
**San Francisco Ballet**
**San Francisco Opera**
**Berkeley Rep**
**Marin Shakespeare**
**San Francisco Shakespeare**

**Google Slides**

Make a digital card with classmates recording personalized wishes. Slides is free to use, allows you to embed images, audio, YouTube videos, and gifs.

Teachers Pay Teachers

TpT is the go-to place for educators to find the resources, knowledge, and inspiration they need to teach at their best. With more than 3 million free and paid resources, created by educators who understand what works in the PreK-12 classroom. When educators get the resources and support they need, they're best equipped to inspire our next generation of learners. Plus you are supporting teachers.

Let Them Decide

Teachers not only have to teach their students but also support their own children’s education. Sometimes they get Zoomed/Googled out. Give them a break with a **Netflix**, **Amazon**, **Barnes & Noble** or **Target** gift card so they can have a movie night or even buy toilet paper - what ever they want.

Don’t forget…Librarians, Music Teachers, Language Instructors, PE Teachers, Tutors and all the other teaches that make a difference to your child’s education.
