About American Education Week
American Education Week happens the week prior to the week of Thanksgiving. Each day of the week has its own theme, to celebrate our public school community.
Festivities honor the team of people who work in our nation’s public schools, everyone from the bus driver and classroom teacher to the cafeteria worker and administrative staff, plus countless others.
