Whataburger is getting ready to celebrate the incredible impact of our local educators during National Teacher Appreciation Week: read on for details!

First, we’re inviting all teachers and school staff to join us for a FREE hot breakfast on Thursday, May 7, from 5–9 a.m. Just stop by any participating location with a valid school ID and grab a Breakfast on a Bun, Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit, or Taquito (available for dine-in, takeout, or drive-thru).

But we want to do more than just breakfast.

Through our Feeding Student Success program, Whataburger is awarding sixty $1,000 classroom grants across the country. Right here in our communities, we’ll be recognizing several exceptional educators with these $1,000 grants and some exclusive "WhataTeacher" gear.

This is where I need your help. We’re looking for nominations for inspiring teachers who are making a real difference in their classrooms or districts. If you know a "WhataTeacher" who deserves this recognition, please submit your nomination by Wednesday, April 24 using the link below. We plan to celebrate each winner in person at their school!
