Teachers do wonderful work, a fact that is becoming more and more apparent every day to parents across the country. But their job is often thankless, with low pay and shrinking benefits to boot.
Actress Reese Witherspoon wants to do her part to say thanks to these important figures. Her brand Draper James offered teachers a free dress through its #DJLovesTeachers program. We couldn’t think of a worthier group of people who deserve a little free boost to their wardrobe, either.

#DJLovesTeachers“Advocating for the children of the world is no easy task, so I wanted to show teachers a little extra love right now,” Witherspoon said in a statement posted on the brand’s Instagram account.
Teachers: “These past few weeks have shown me so much about humanity. I have been so encouraged by the ways people are showing up for each other. Particularly the teachers. During quarantine, teachers are broadcasting lessons from their own homes and figuring out new remote-learning technology and platforms on the fly, all while continuing to educate and connect with our kids. Advocating for the children of the world is no easy task, so I wanted to show teachers a little extra love right now.” — @reesewitherspoon 
The giveaway also prompted an outpouring of some pretty serious love for teachers, including some really sweet comments from children of all ages:
Witherspoon’s clothing line features classic American style that’s “steeped in Southern charm and unapologetically pretty.”
The dresses feature bold patterns and color palettes that teachers can wear when school is back in session.
Today only on draperjames.com: The Saturday Sale — a special edit of spring classics, all under $100.And though a free dress can’t solve all of a teacher’s problems, even a small gesture of appreciation goes a long way:
