Boston Partners in Education

Teacher Appreciation Week wouldn’t be complete without hearing directly from our mentors about the incredible educators they work alongside each year. ✨

From creating welcoming classrooms to building strong partnerships that help students succeed, teachers make a lasting impact on both students and mentors alike. Thank you for all that you do to support your school communities every day.

These are just a few of the many amazing teacher shout outs we received this year, and we know there are so many more educators deserving of recognition. Want to celebrate a teacher who made an impact? Add your shout out in the comments below!

Sending appreciation to the educators who make learning meaningful every single day. 🍎

We at BPIE would like to recognize the incredible educators who make a lasting difference in the lives of young people every single day. We want to extend a special thank you to our teachers at Boston Public Schools. Each year, we work with over 200 teachers to support more than 1,000 students—and it’s the commitment of those teachers that makes this impact possible.

Thank you for welcoming us into your classrooms, collaborating with us, and working alongside us to support your students. Your investment makes our shared work stronger and more impactful.

Today, and every day, we celebrate you and all that you do.

We are thrilled to announce a special event dedicated to recognizing and honoring the incredible adults who have made a significant impact on the lives of our students. Join us on May 30th, 2026 as we celebrate the dedication, wisdom, and guidance of our mentors. This event will be an opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation for their invaluable contributions. There will be inspiring speeches, opportunities to share your mentor stories, and a chance to connect with others who may have been positively impacted by our work.

When: Saturday, May 30th | 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Where: Bruce C. Bolling Municipal Building
