As you prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday, remember the teachers in your life. The public radio project StoryCorps is asking people to track down their former teachers, as part of a yearlong National Teachers Initiative.

On the Friday after Thanksgiving, take a minute to post a memory of a teacher, or “friend” them, on Facebook and tag it @StoryCorps, or send a Twitter message using #thankateacher.

If you have more time, you can record the interview, which StoryCorps will then archive at the Library of Congress. Or share your memories of favorite or extraordinary teachers here on SchoolBook.

You can hear the founder of Storycorps, David Isay, talk with Beth Fertig of WNYC about the project and this year's focus on teachers here.
