It’s a well-known fact that teachers and nurses are among the most important yet underpaid and often under-appreciated professionals. During Teacher Appreciation Week, May 4 through 8, and Nurses Appreciation Week, May 6 through 12, Valley restaurants are offering a small token toward what these dedicated folks deserve.
