# Starbird Celebrates Teachers with Complimentary Entrées on May 5

## Story

**WHAT**: An in-restaurant offer for Teacher Appreciation Day on Tuesday, May 5 allows educators to receive a complimentary entrée, valued up to $15. Eligible entrée options include a sandwich, tenders, or salad.

The offer is valid for one redemption per person and available exclusively for educators who present a valid ID. It can be redeemed at all Starbird locations, including those in Colorado, with the exception of stadium and airport restaurants. The initiative reflects a personal connection for Aaron Noveshen, Founder and Chairman of the Board, whose parents both worked in education — one in public schools and the other as a professor — making this giveback especially meaningful to the brand’s founder.

“Teachers are the unsung heroes of our communities. They shape young minds, open doors, and change the trajectory of lives,” said Noveshen. “This one’s personal for me.

Both my parents were teachers, and I saw firsthand the care and belief they poured into their students. This is a small way for us to say thank you.”

“At Starbird, we believe in supporting the communities we serve, and educators are at the center of that,” said Greg Levin, Chief Executive Officer. “This initiative is about recognizing their impact and making sure they feel appreciated every time they walk through our doors.”
