Today is Teacher’s Day – a day to honor your teachers and thank them for the contributions they’ve made to your lives. Traditionally students, school boards and school administrators often show appreciation to their teachers with token gifts.

But why limit teacher appreciation to just one day – or even a week? And why not give something more practical and longer-lasting than the standard shiny red apple? In many communities, teachers are honored with special school parking spaces designated with reserved parking signs customized just for them.

Most teachers enjoy having a special spot to park and if the space is close to the building, appreciate not having to walk as far with heavy loads of books and other school supplies.

Just for fun, here’s some famous people who used to be teachers and whose names could have appeared on a “Reserved For Teacher” Parking Sign.
