This week is Teacher Appreciation Week
…and we are thrilled to honor our teachers at Harrison Lane Elementary and DAEP with some special gifts. But, here are some FREE gifts offered by DFW businesses available to all teachers – enjoy! (This is a condensed version of the article here, plus a couple of other things I found around the web.)
We are praying for you this week as you impact the next generation!
