SPRINGFIELD, IL--(Marketwired - April 21, 2014) - Horace Mann encourages you to join its #TeachItForward movement during Teacher Appreciation Week, May 5-9. Similar to the good deed campaign "Pay It Forward," Horace Mann will be thanking those who #TeachItForward every day.
"We all know educators who've made an impact," says Horace Mann Social Media Director Kristi Hillyer. "Whether they sparked creativity, led you on an adventure or inspired you to excel, there's the teacher who gave you that 'a-ha' moment. We want you to recognize the teacher who made a difference for you or is making a difference for your children and the children of your community."
Students, parents and community members can join Horace Mann in celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week by using #TeachItForward on Twitter to thank an exceptional educator. Horace Mann will celebrate the spirit of the movement with these #TeachItForward activities:
