#JaxThanksATeacher: Teacher Appreciation Week
5/1/2018
Duval’s Teachers Are More than instructional experts and often go above and beyond the call of duty - they’re friends, mentors, support systems and caretakers who shape young lives. Teachers lay the foundation for what our city is and what it has the potential to be. Join JPEF as we celebrate our teachers May 7 - 11 for Teacher Appreciation Week! In anticipation, we are sharing ways you can thank the amazing teachers in Duval who work tirelessly every day to provide the best education for their students.
Help us reach 100,000 thanks for teachers using #JaxThanksATeacher!

- Teachers need motivation, inspiration, and acknowledgment to persevere just like we did when we were students in their classrooms. - Abe Reising 2018 Teacher of the Year finalist #JaxThanksATeacher #ThankATeacher
