Showing appreciation during Teacher Appreciation Week, and making a difference in children’s lives.

Teleflora, the world’s leading floral delivery service and GLSEN, the leading national education organization focused on ensuring safe and affirming schools for all students, are partnering to help parents and students express gratitude for all the teachers that are making a difference throughout different communities.

Teachers play a major role in building brighter futures for our children. This May, during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 2-6), individuals who purchase Teleflora’s Be Happy, Bouquet, with roses will enjoy 20 per cent off the purchase price.

In turn, Teleflora will donate 10 per cent of all sales of Teleflora’s Be Happy Bouquet with Roses during Teacher Appreciation Week to advance GLSEN’s mission of enhancing the educational system. This is done by ensuring that every student is treated with respect and value, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.

Teleflora’s Executive Vice President and Head of Marketing, David Dancer, said “Everyone can remember at least one teacher who truly made a positive impact on their educational experience without expecting anything in return.” He added that the company is “proud to be able to give back to these educators in some way and to support GLSEN’s cause.”

“My life was shaped by amazing teachers who ‘got’ me, including my mom,” says Eliza Byard, Executive Director of GLSEN. “At GLSEN I get daily reminders of the difference dedicated, caring educators make for millions of students who need their support to thrive.”
