File / eExtra News

Teacher Appreciation Week is here. To honor those educators who work tirelessly to teach our children, several businesses are offering deals and freebies to help celebrate.

“The pandemic has ushered in a new way of teaching and learning. From in-person to virtual to a hybrid learning environment (some all in one school year), our students have faced challenging, yet innovative times in their learning and development—and teachers have been at the heart of it all,” officials said in a news release by the National Parent-Teacher Association.

According to a release from FOX 4, the following are deals that educators can receive this week:

Applebee’s

Participating Applebee’s locations have offered teachers and other school staff discounts on their meals with proof of their profession during previous Teacher Appreciation Weeks. This year, the chain is offering 20% off at participating locations, according to Delish. The deal runs May 2-6, 2022. But as always, it’s always best to check with your local restaurant to confirm what deal they may be offering.
