Teacher Appreciation: Send your school some LOVE with a MK shout out!

Know a school, teacher, or staff member that is simply AMAZING? Show some love with a shout out!

By Jenny Sites April 23, 2020

Teacher Appreciation week is coming up - May 4th - 8th.  Since we aren't in school with our teachers, lets give them a big SHOUT OUT to show them how much they are loved!


How grateful are we for our local teachers and staff these days? 

SUPER GRATEFUL!

How can we show them how much we appreciate everything they are doing for us?

Send them an MK Shout Out!

Our local teachers, staff, and administrators are working extra hard these days to keep our students engaged and learning during remote instruction. If you are anything like us, you have struggled a bit with being thrown into the "homeschool teacher role"! It can be really hard to keep our kids on track while we are taking care of other kiddos, working from home, and/or going about the daily business of life. It sure makes us appreciate what our teachers do everyday with a whole classroom of kids even more!

So, we want to help you show your appreciation. Send your school some love with an MK Shout Out, and you could win a prize for your family!

How does it work?

➡️ Fill out the Shout Out Form!

➡️ Each day during Teacher Appreciation week (April 4-8, 2020) we will post your shout outs on our social media! AND each day we will award 1 lucky family a mystery prize!  

➡️ We will send all of the Shout Outs to the principals of the schools that receive them each week, so that they can share them with their teachers and staff.

FAQ's

🍎 Who can we send a SHOUT OUT to?

You can send a Shout Out to any teacher or staff member at any school!

Tell them why you are grateful for them! Feel free to get creative and get specific!
