Teach901 is turning Teacher Appreciation into a month-long celebration, and this year, we’re making it bigger than ever. Whether you’re a Memphis educator looking forward to a month full of events designed just for you, or someone who wants to show up for the teachers in your life, this is your guide to everything happening this April and May.
For Teachers: A Month Built for You
From wellness nights and creative experiences to a full-blown summer kick-off party, we’ve got four weeks of free events lined up because teachers deserve more than just one week.
Wellness Wednesday
April 29 | 4:00 PM | Sana Yoga Downtown
We’re kicking things off with a night all about rest, connection, and joy outside the classroom. Join us for a FREE yoga session at Sana Yoga Downtown, then stick around for a full evening of wellness and community featuring Playa Bowls, French Truck Coffee, and The Medical District Collaborative.
This one is for you. No lesson plans, no to-do lists. Just good people and good vibes.
Spots are very limited, so register today.

For Everyone Else: How to Show Up for Memphis Teachers
Not a teacher? You’ve still got a role to play. Behind every student who discovers their potential, there’s a teacher who refused to give up on them. This Teacher Appreciation Month, Give901 and Teach901 are asking our community to show up for the educators who show up every single day, and there’s a way for everyone to get involved.
Free: Write a Thank-You Note
Your words can make a teacher’s day. Take five minutes to write a thank-you note to a Memphis teacher. Click the link to email Give901 your note and we’ll hand-write it to include in a teacher appreciation bag.
$50: Buy a Goodie Bag
Give a teacher a well-deserved treat. Buy a goodie bag for a teacher, packed with teacher-approved goodies to be handed out at our Teacher Appreciation Event at the end of the month.
In-Kind Gift: Donate an Experience
Help a teacher feel their best. Offer a free class, host a teacher night, or donate a service for the goodie bags. Your business or skill is a gift.
Become a Sponsor
Go all in. Sponsor the Teacher Appreciation event at Swamp Bar at the end of the month. You’ll be included in all our recap posts on social media and in our newsletters across four platforms.
