From the first days of kindergarten to the last moments of graduation, teachers work together with parents to help students learn, grow, and prepare for the future. But with school closures across the nation, students, teachers and administrators have been left without the human connection and essential programs provided by these institutions. Today on National Teacher Day, we're proud to see educators and administrators using TikTok to help stay connected and express themselves during this challenging time.

To help all those involved in education, TikTok has partnered with the National PTA to help fund critical K-12 programs that support distance learning as well as school meal benefits. Join us in our support through the #AlwaysLearning hashtag found on the Discover tab, and tune in this evening to catch Anna O'Brien and Wayne Brady go LIVE in support of the National PTA.

Whether you're a teacher, student, or a fan of the educational success of children, post a video and consider making a donation to the National PTA. TikTok is matching donations until May 27 so any dollar you give will have twice the impact.
