This year, to celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-10, 2008) and National Teacher Day (Tuesday, May 6, 2008), the Parent Teacher Association and the National Education Association are honoring teachers with a very special public tribute: the Nation's Largest Teacher Thank-You Card Project.

To date, the project has collected thousands of thank-you cards from celebrities, notable public figures and individuals from across the country. Our goal is to continue collecting cards to create a monumental display of thanks to teachers.

Please show your support by taking part in this one-of-a-kind project. Participating is easy. Simply log on to www.teacherthankyoucard.org and send a free e-card or video message. You can also mail a thank-you card to:
