As a show of support for Oklahoma teachers preparing to protest for better education funding this week, local businesses are offering discounts.
After hard days of protesting at the State Capitol, many businesses and organizations have step up to the occasion of softening the blow for teachers during the Teacher Walkout. Mazzio’s Pizza Italian Eatery invited educators for a free buffet treat at their numerous locations in Tulsa and surrounding area. Mazzio’s founder, the late Ken Selby was an educator before he opened his first pizza parlor. Every Tuesday evening, teachers are able to take advantage of the free dinner until April 24.
Teachers will likely be asked for a valid school/employment ID to redeem offers at certain locations.
- Jinya Ramen Bar in Tulsa is offering 50 percent off ramen and rice bowls until the walkout is over.
- Tuesdays at Mazzios locations across the state will be Teacher Appreciation Night. Educators can get a free dinner buffet and drink.
- Tulsa’s Philbrook Museum provides free memberships to Oklahoma teachers.
- The Woody Guthrie Center always lets teachers in for free.
