If you're a teacher--I hope you're enjoying your summer! Stores and brands have events planned for you in the next few weeks to show their appreciation--with refreshments, goody bags, and special sales and discounts:

• Big Lots: Teacher Appreciation Day is August 14th, and while there are no details up yet, last year the discount was 10% with school ID.
• Joann Fabrics: Sign up for their Teacher Rewards, which gives you a 15% discount all year,  then attend Teacher Appreciation Days on August 14-15 for 20% off your purchases and a FREE Tote Bag.
• Michaels: With your educator ID, you get an additional 10% off your entire purchase, including sale items, every Friday through September 24th. There's also a FREE Teacher Crop held on August 27th from 3:00-8:45pm.
• Office Depot: All week August 15-21 is Teacher Appreciation Week. Most stores are offering a Teachers' Breakfast the morning of the 21st (check your local store to be sure), plus you'll get 10% off all week, and 50% rewards back on certain products.
• Office Max: Teacher Appreciation Day is Saturday, August 8th or 15th (check your local store); you'll receive a FREE reusable tote bag and get 15% off all products you can fit into it.
