A chance to say ‘thanks’: Bend Teacher Appreciation Dinner planned at Mountain Burger

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- This Sunday, the Bend community will gather at Mountain Burger to celebrate the people who inspire the next generation—our teachers.

Hosted by National Solar, with support from Mountain Burger and Cascade Lakes Brewing, the Bend Teacher Appreciation Dinner will open its doors at 2747 Northwest Crossing Drive from 5:00 to 9:00 PM in a relaxed, open-house style event.

Educators attending will enjoy a free dinner from a special menu, while kids can choose from the full children’s menu. Guests 21 and over will also find complimentary beer provided by Cascade Lakes Brewing.

A family-friendly evening is planned with raffle prizes, good food, and a warm atmosphere designed to honor Bend’s dedicated teachers.

Attendance requires an online RSVP, and spaces are expected to fill quickly.

For many in the community, it’s more than just a meal—it’s a chance to say thank you to the teachers who give so much every day.
