Teacher Appreciation Week: Celebrating You
Wednesday, May 6, 2026
3:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Celebrating teachers means investing in the entire teacher journey; from pre-service teachers stepping into schools for the first time, to seasoned educators growing in their leadership roles. Elevate Teaching is proud to partner in doing this work and showing up for teachers every step of the way.
📍 May 6 | 3–6 PM
📍 Kids In Need Foundation,
200 S Owasso Blvd E, Little Canada, MN
🎟️ Complimentary + open to all
Come hungry. Come as you are.
Leave feeling seen, full, and celebrated!
**** We are working on a virtual option for an hour that includes the short program. Plan a watch party and join the celebration! We would love to see you in person, but if you already know that only the virtual option will work, please register below separately.
Give a Teacher a shoutout of recognition!
Teacher Appreciation Week is the FIRST week in May.
We want to take a moment to intentionally shine a light on the impact teachers have on their students and communities, especially during national teacher appreciation week.
Please take a couple of minutes to give a shoutout to a teacher who has had an impact in YOUR life by completing this short form. We will share the shoutouts directly and on social media!
