As the school year draws to a close, it’s time to thank the folks that teach Tampa Bay’s best and brightest every day — including some of you + your loved ones.

A range of Tampa Bay restaurants and coffee shops are hosting giveaways to honor educators.

  • What says appreciation quite like a free, bougie dinner? Michelin Bib Gourmand Award winning restaurant Rooster & the Till is giving away five $100 gift cards to local teachers. Enter by tagging your favorite teacher and “why you think they deserve to be wine and dined” on the restaurant’s Instagram post.
  • Kahwa Coffee is also hosting a giveaway in honor of the holiday. Nominate your favorite school on the brand’s Instagram page + they could win free coffee for all teachers and staff. Leave a comment on this post.

Did we miss any specials or giveaways? Let us know, and we’ll share with the class.
