May 7—11 is Teacher Appreciation Week
May 7, 2018...Governor Ralph Northam designated May 7–11, 2018 as Teacher Appreciation Week in the Commonwealth and encouraged all Virginians to participate by sending thank-you notes, recognizing teachers for their hard work and dedication.
The “Thank a Teacher” campaign is sponsored by the Virginia Lottery in partnership with Virginia Tourism Corporation and the Virginia Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Participants can send electronic notes directly from the thankateacherva.com website. With each thank-you note you send to a teacher during National Teacher Appreciation Week (May 7-11), that teacher can enter for a chance to win prizes, including a trip or money.
