Teacher Appreciation Week 2019 has officially arrived — along with a bunch of great freebies and food deals promoted by restaurants to thank teachers for all they do.
While parents and students are hopefully honoring teachers with Teacher Appreciation Week gifts, dozens of national restaurant chains are joining in the celebration giving teachers free food and other discounts. Among other deals, teachers can get buy-one, get-one-free burritos at Chipotle and buy-one, get-one-free sandwiches at Potbelly Sandwich Shop, as part of Teacher Appreciation Week. Teachers can get free coffee, free pizza, free milkshakes, and free chicken fingers too.
Some Teacher Appreciation freebies are valid only on Tuesday, May 7, for Teacher Appreciation Day 2019, and other teacher deals are good for the entire week, from Monday, May 6, to Friday, May 10. In all cases, valid teacher ID is required to take advantage of the freebie or special Teacher Appreciation promotion.
Here are all the teacher deals this week, starting with freebies available on Tuesday (Teacher Appreciation Day), and ending with teacher discounts valid during other parts of Teacher Appreciation Week.
