TULSA, Okla. â This week, the country recognizes another kind of front-line hero. The week of May 3 is Teacher Appreciation week.
It has been a challenging year for teachers near and far and this week we honor the people working hard to sustain some kind of normalcy for our children.
Schools across the country are in various stages of re-opening and some are still closed because of COVID-19. Regardless, teachers are still working harder than ever.
Now, some businesses across the country are offering discounts to educators for everything from car rentals to Apple products. After a year of teaching during the pandemic, the end of the spring semester couldnât come soon enough.
