Tell Us About Your Favorite Teacher For Teacher Appreciation Week

At HuffPost Education, we know exceptional teachers are life-changers.

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, from May 4 to May 8, HuffPost Education plans to highlight stories of teachers who are making a positive difference in the lives of children, families and communities. We want to hear about the teachers who made a difference in your life, or the ones you have observed making a difference in the lives of your children or neighbors.

Do you have a story about an amazing educator? If so, we invite you send it to education@huffingtonpost.com. To submit your story, please explain in 400 to 800 words:

• Why you think this teacher is amazing.

• Your relationship to the teacher.

• The teacher’s name.

• Where they teach.

• The best way to contact you for further information.

Please include pictures you may have of you and the teacher. Put #HPHeartsTeachers in your email subject line.

Don’t forget to follow HuffPost Education on Twitter and Facebook and tell us why you "heart" your teacher using #HPHeartsTeachers!
