It is an amazing feeling to be recognized for your efforts every day – yet so many people work every day largely without accolade. This May we are given the chance to celebrate the special people in two different and challenging professions. National Teachers Week is May 7-13, and National Nurses Week is May 6-12. Both teachers and nurses work tirelessly to benefit others and are known for their selfless heart. Is there a special teacher or nurse in your life? Central Square Florist has the floral designs, plants and gourmet gifts that will let them know just how much they matter! Social Appreciation: Tuesday, May 9 is National Teacher’s Day. People across the country are encouraged to post photos and stories of their favorite teacher to social media, along with the hashtag #ThankATeacher.

Almost everyone can look back over their lives and bring to mind an influential teacher. More so than nearly every other career path, a teacher can make a real difference in someone’s life. Teachers encourage us to work to our potential and to dream big. They invest time and energy into their students and truly care about their development and success. Whether you are in school now or have a child with a spectacular teacher –  a floral design is a beautiful way to thank them from the heart.

Did You Know? Although the observance is celebrated over a week’s time, National Nurse’s Day is commemorated on May 6 and kicks the week off. The final day falls on the birthday of Florence Nightingale, which is May 12..

Depending on what unit they work in, each nurse has a special gift. From welcoming new babies in maternity to holding our hands when our loved ones are ill, a nurse’s heart is beyond compare. And whether they would prefer a vivid design to brighten their station or a delicious gift of fruit and chocolate to keep in the break room – we know that your thoughtful gesture will go a long way to letting them know how appreciated they really are.

Call Central Square Florist today for these special occasions, and every occasion throughout the year. Like you, we love our Cambridge community, from nurses to teachers – to you!
