Teachers In Louisiana and Texas Can Get Free Whataburger Breakfast. Here’s How…

This week is National Teacher Appreciation Week and Whataburger wants to take care of our teachers in Louisiana and Texas and thank them for their hard work during the school year! They're giving away FREE BREAKFAST, and here's what we know...

To understand what Teacher Appreciation Week has come to be, it’s important to understand how it began. Congress was told by former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt in 1953 that there must come a day when teachers are routinely acknowledged for their hard work.

Though she received congressional support, the first National Teacher Day did not occur until March 7, 1980. While this was certainly a win for the world of education, the National Education Association knew that they could do more, so they extended this occasion to last for a week four years later. 

Since 1984, the first full week of May has been designated as Teacher Appreciation Week, with Tuesday marking National Teacher Day. But this year, Teacher Appreciation Week will be celebrated starting May 6th.
