Teachers will soon receive the greatest gift of all: summer vacation!
But that also means the school year is nearing an end and it's time to show a little extra appreciation for educators.
Teacher's Appreciation Week is from May 8 to May 12, according to the National Education Association. That means major retailers, restaurants and other companies will be offering discounts and special perks to educators – some of which are actually available year-round.
Here are some of the freebies and deals teachers can receive as the country shows appreciation before school is out for summer.
