This year, Teacher Appreciation means more than ever.

During the Covid-19 crisis, teachers are working diligently to make sure that a shutdown of schools doesn’t mean a lockdown on learning for their students.

Despite the challenges of school closures and distance education, teachers in the U.S., Guatemala and around the world are helping their students stay connected, maintain daily routines and keep learning.

The holidays are a perfect opportunity to tell teachers how much you value their hard work and dedication during this unprecedented time.

Thank a teacher with a gift that makes a difference.

Show your appreciation to a special teacher in your life by giving children in Guatemala a great teacher of their own. Make a gift in their honor and send them an e-card or printed postcard to share the news.

Or create a custom dedication page and rally your school or community to honor a teacher or group of teachers with the gift of education.

Do you have a teacher in your life who is also a coffee lover? Give them this collectible coffee gift set from our partners at 3-19 Coffee to thank them for their hard work and dedication.
