SPIDACARES Honors Teachers During Teacher Appreciation Week
On May 5, 2025, Donovan Mitchell’s foundation SPIDACARES held a special event honoring teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week. At John F. Kennedy High School, SPIDACARES provided faculty and staff with Adidas gear, Cavs gear, and gift cards in recognition of the important work they do every day.
Faculty, staff, and students also enjoyed two delicious food trucks—a choice of pizza and tacos—along with BodyArmor drinks.
“This is our second giveaway thanking the Cleveland community for an amazing season. It’s very important that we’re here at JFK High School during teacher appreciation week,” said Nicole Mitchell, Executive Director of SPIDACARES. “Being an educator for 13 years, it’s very rewarding to be back and to let the other teachers know how much they are appreciated and needed.”
Reflecting on the event, Principal Hayes noted, “It’s just so powerful that Donovan Mitchell’s foundation is coming here to support teachers … and help us in ensuring that teachers understand we value them and appreciate all of their hard work.”
