These Northern Colorado Businesses Reward Teachers

Teachers are angels. Truly. I like kids, but I don't want to be around them all day. Boogers, licking door knobs, screaming. Kids are a trip.

Don't you think teachers deserve to be showered in discounts? I sure do. Let's take a look at businesses that offer some pretty sweet deals just for our beloved educators.

Michaels

Who doesn't love Michaels? Teachers can get a cool 15% off purchases all year long, which is good because I don't think there's ever not a need for crayons and paper, or booze, but Michaels doesn't sell that.

Check out the Greeley and Fort Collins locations.

AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon

All three cell phone companies offer discounts to teachers. Which is smart because I know teachers have to make a lot of calls to parents. Or was that just with my kids?

Heavily discounted wireless plans are available now.

Target

Who doesn't love Target? A store loved by all; if you're a teacher, you'll find some major deals. Teachers are eligible for not only great Back to School deals, but you'll also save big time on Teachers Appreciation Day.

Apple

If you're a teacher and are into tech, you should know that Apple offers education discounts all year long. You can get a new laptop for emails and grading papers, and a new iPad to watch Gossip Girl so you can ignore the emails and grading papers.

It's a win-win.

Adidas

Adidas gives up to 30% off online orders and in-store purchases to teachers. I might actually start asking my teacher friends for their discount because while I'm not an educator, I sure do love sneakers.
