When to book
Aim to ask by Monday, February 22, 2027
Every school in the region wants the same five days. PTAs that reach out in February or March have the most choice.
A suggestion based on roughly 10 weeks of notice, not a deadline. Nothing is booked until you confirm.
Teacher Appreciation Week
A food truck for Teacher Appreciation.
The next Teacher Appreciation Week runs May 3 – 7, 2027, Monday to Friday, with National Teacher Day on the Tuesday. PTAs at schools across Fairfax, Loudoun, Montgomery and Prince William counties plan the week months ahead.
Teachers usually get a short lunch period, so speed matters more than variety. We plan a focused menu, open the window right at the lunch bell, and keep the line moving so staff can eat sitting down.
Planning tips
- Get the school’s approval and check-in rules for the truck first.
- Send each lunch period’s start time so we can pace the window.
- Collect orders ahead through a simple form if your lunch slots are short.
