Teachers mean a lot us. They are educators. They are parental role models. They are counselors and friends. They are fun. They are smart. They are memorable. They dedicate a lot of time to ensuring that we grow up right. It's nice when we can do something nice for them.

A national restaurant chain is doing just that again this year for National Teacher Appreciation Day, which is Tuesday, May 8th. So, if you're a Central New York student, make sure to tell your favorite teachers. And if you're a CNY teacher, get ready to enjoy.

Chipotle Mexican Grill, with locations on Commercial Drive in New Hartford and four spots in the Syracuse area, is offering a sweet deal for teachers. May 8th teachers can take advantage of a Buy One Burrito, Get One Free deal.

All teachers need is a valid faculty ID card from any elementary school all the way through college. The offer is good from 3:00 PM to closing time and applies only to in-store orders.

So, which teacher are you bringing to Chipotle May 8th?
