Thank a Teacher started in 2016 with one goal: to thank as many K-12 public school teachers in Virginia as possible during National Teacher Appreciation Week in May.

Teachers inspire every day — and now is the time to thank them.

The Virginia Lottery’s 9th annual Thank a Teacher Art Contest is underway, and K-12 public school students are invited to submit original artwork by February 2.

Curious about the prizes? Three students will win a $200 Visa gift card, and their schools will receive a $2,000 credit to The Supply Room.

Plus, winning art will be featured on thank-you notes this May.
