Celebrate World Teacher Day, October 5
The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) launched World Teacher Day in 1994 with a focus on issues faced by teachers around the world. We celebrate World Teacher Day on October 5 this year. We know the last couple of years were especially tough. You worked hard and did a great deal for your students despite the obstacles, especially the ones created by a global pandemic.
We want to thank you for your hard work. Stop by one of our branches, say hello, see what’s new, and pick up a swag bag as a small token of our appreciation for your hard work. Bring along your coworkers! And they’ll get a swag bag, too.
Thank you again for all you do for the students in our community.
