0
0

Everyone knows someone who’s a teacher. Whether they were your teacher, your child’s teacher, or just a friend that taught you something, teachers deserve a day of celebration. Anyone who takes the time to help another person understand or learn a new skill is considered a teacher. National Teacher Day is a day dedicated to recognizing those who have chosen teaching as a profession, often with the understanding that it may not be the path to fame and fortune. This year, make May 5th a day to thank your favorite teacher and even your least favorite teacher. Celebrate the profession and those touched by it by participating in these Minnesotan activities.

Enjoy An Apple Fritter
Glam Doll Donuts

Minneapolis, MN 55408

Forget the healthy apples for teachers and go for an apple fritter. The Glam Dolls are Minneapolis legends, small business owners, and ladies who learned how to bake by having wonderful teachers. Support this local and delicious business while bringing home a treat for your favorite teacher or eating one in honor of one. The apple fritter at Glam Doll, affectionately known as the Pinup Girl, is filled with bourbon, another tasty surprise after a long day of teaching. Add bacon to your fritter to make it a meal or call about catering options for the entire faculty lounge.
