Whataburger is showing its appreciation for teachers with free breakfast.
Starting Monday, May 5, educators who stop by a participating Whataburger can get a free breakfast item of their choice by showing a valid school ID, according to the Texas-based burger chain.
The offer is good through May 9, and no purchase is necessary.
Teachers have their pick of Whataburger's breakfast entrees, including the honey butter chicken biscuit and taquito with cheese, when they order in-restaurant or at the drive-thru.
'It's Whataburger's way of showing a little love for the big impact they make every single day,' the restaurant said.
National Teacher Appreciation Week is May 5-9, while National Teacher Day is celebrated on May 6, according to the National Education Association.
The holiday was born in 1953 when then-first lady Eleanor Roosevelt asked Congress for a day 'to acknowledge the work of educators,' the organization said.
'Teachers inspire our children to reach their full potential,' NEA President Becky Pringle said in a statement. 'They are shaping the future by helping students grow both academically and personally, preparing them to become the leaders of tomorrow.'
