Teacher Appreciation Week 2026
Celebrating Dane County educators and the vital role they play in literacy, learning, and life.
Teachers are the heart of every classroom — serving our kids big and little, and everyone in between.
During Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4–8, 2026), Classmates Literacy Foundation is proud to celebrate the incredible educators across Dane County who work tirelessly to support their students.
This week is our chance to say thank you — through community recognition and special giveaways that honor the impact teachers make not just in literacy, but in the lives of the children they serve.
Join us to lift up the educators who give so much to our community.
“A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.”
— Brad Henry
