A Shower of Thanks for Our Educators During Teacher Appreciation Week

As business owners and graduates with advanced degrees, we understand first-hand the limitless possibilities education can provide. We are huge advocates of education and even bigger advocates of the superheroes who teach it! May 8-12, 2023 was Teacher Appreciation Week and we partnered with over 15 businesses to bring some much-needed joy to these teachers throughout Leon County.

‘Thanks for making learning such an adventure’ was our theme this year. Each day for five days straight we gave away 3 to 4 prizes! To enter, educators had to like our page (so we could easily tag them if they were a winner) and comment their name and school under specific posts. The engagement and participation from teachers was outstanding, while we couldn’t award every teacher, we certainly tried.

We are grateful for the businesses that donated prizes for our teachers. Our business partners included: CMX Cinemas Fallchase, Bonefish Grill - Thomasville Rd., Southern Sweet Tees, Walker Keaton Group, Nell’d It, Maple Street Biscuit Company - Tennessee St., Chili’s Grill & Bar - Thomasville Rd., Peterbrooke Chocolatier - Thomasville Rd., Tally Creations, Cakes by Cathy.

Our Winners were: Ms. Newman (Killearn Lakes), Ms. Lach (Conley), Ms. Reed (Sabal Palm), Mr. White (Rickards), Ms. Mello (Pineview), Ms. Langston (Sail), Ms. Davis (Bond), Ms. Sanders (Fairview), Ms. Strawlow (Cobb), Ms. Jackson (Astoria Park), Ms. Warren (Capital Prep), Ms. Schiffer (Oak Ridge), Ms. Patel (Godby), Ms. Maddox (Tallahassee Art & Science).
