Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5–9, 2025) is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the incredible educators who pour their hearts into our children’s learning every single day. Want to make a lasting impact? Support a local classroom through DonorsChoose!
At Macaroni KID Mountain House–Tracy–Manteca, we’re excited to spotlight five local teachers who are going above and beyond for their students. These educators have active DonorsChoose projects that need community support to become a reality — from flexible seating to science tools and diverse books, every donation helps build a better classroom experience.
