World Teachers’ Day is on Thursday, October 5.
We identified some discounts and freebies for teachers to honor exceptional educators who can have a profound impact on the lives of their students.
Many businesses provide discounts or freebies to teachers throughout the year, while some promotions are only valid today.
Free Coffee
Dunkin’ is giving away free coffee to all educators in honor of teachers. On Thursday, all preschool through college educators, academicians, principals, and counselors are entitled to a free medium hot or iced coffee.
Cold brew or nitro cold brew are not included in the package. There is no further cost to receive a complimentary cup of coffee.
Free Cruise
Margaritaville at Sea is willing to assist if a getaway is needed for the teacher in your life.
Education professionals can take a complimentary three-day, two-night cruise to Grand Bahama Island as part of the company’s Heroes Sail complimentary program.
There are conditions associated with the agreement. Heroes Sail Free participants are required to sail with at least one paying visitor, and both guests must still cover taxes, fees, port fees, and gratuities.
All military members, whether active and retired, first responders, and law enforcement personnel are also covered by the agreement.

Membership to meditation
There is another free option to decompress if you are unable to take a trip.
A free membership to the program is being made available to teachers through the mindfulness and meditation app Headspace.
Headspace may help pupils develop lifelong healthy habits, the firm claimed. “Whether you’re feeling inspired to connect more with your students or you’re looking for a new way to bring calm to your classroom,” the company added.
Visit headspace.com/educators for more details on the campaign.
Microsoft Office 365 is free
Microsoft’s Office programs can assist in simplifying teaching tasks such as creating PowerPoint presentations and lesson plans.
All educators and students who require Microsoft Office have free access to the program with a verified school email.

Free educational materials
A study by the national group Adopt A Classroom found that instructors shell out $860 a year on their own for classroom equipment.
There are still numerous methods for teachers to apply for free classroom supplies even though the academic year has already started.
To provide classrooms with the necessary supplies, Adopt A Classroom has its own program. Click here for more details and to apply.
Kids In Need is another organization. Pencils, pencil pouches, folders, notebooks, sharpeners, erasers, rulers, and pens are available for classroom use through the foundation’s Supply A Teacher initiative. Depending on the grade level, more supplies may be included. For more details and to apply, go here.
Additionally, educators can submit their classrooms to Donors Choose so that donors can support them. Click here to learn more about the program.
