Teachers and nurses don’t exactly have an easy job. Long hours, high-stress levels and definitely not enough recognition. So when appreciation weeks roll around, even the smallest of perks, like a free coffee or a discounted meal, can feel like a win. This year, Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-8) and Nurses Week (May 6-12) have a fleet of simple, no-hassle deals all over Louisville. No apps, no hoops, just show your ID and get something back.
