Schools across the country are in various stages of re-opening and many are still closed because of COVID-19, but teachers are still working. And many are working harder than ever.
During the week of May 3, teachers are being recognized for all they do to educate the nation’s children. Businesses across the country are offering discounts to educators for everything from automobile rentals to Apple computers.
Below is a list of deals and freebies educators can take advantage of.
Note: Participation and deals can vary by location so be sure to check with your local store for information. Most retailers require a valid teacher ID for deals.
