Teacher Appreciation Week

I actually love Teacher Appreciation Week. I love giving daily gifts and making the teachers feel special and appreciated. However, I don't love spending a lot of money! I spent less than $10.00 on the gifts I sent in every day (other than the day I bought lunch, but I could have easily done something different), and that was for the teacher and two aides!

On Monday we sent in a package of popcorn with a tag that said "for a very POP!ular teacher! Love, Abigail". The tag was a free printable from http://domesticatedlady.com/tag/teacher/. We tied it up with some ribbon that we had from a different project. We got LOTS of comments from this one!

On Tuesday I picked up lunch from McAlister's for the teacher and two aides.

On Wednesday we sent in a small tube of hand lotion. I traced Abigail's hand, cut it out, taped it to the lotion with this saying "Ms. Catalano, You deserve a hand! Love, Abigail"

On Thursday we sent in little Chinese take-out boxes with hard candy inside. The tag said "I'm so fortunate to have you as my teacher! Love, Abigail"

On Friday we sent in a box of strawberries to the teacher. We made a tag and tied it on with some red string. The tag said "I couldn't have picked a better teacher!" Love, Abigail".

I really love how they all turned out! The teacher and aides really seemed to like them as well!

The last day of second grade was just a few weeks ago. Abigail wanted to give her teacher and all of her classmates a little gift. So, with the help of pinterest we came up with these!

All of her classmates were given Pop Rocks candy that said "Hope your summer ROCKS! Love, Abigail".

And keeping with our "rocks" theme, we gave her teacher an iTunes gift card with the same saying!

Abigail was SO excited to give out the gifts! We will be doing this again next year for sure!

Teacher Appreciation Week ~ PTO

I have been away from my blog for WAY too long!! I am back and ready to start again!! 

I am on the PTO for my daughter's school, and we love our teachers! Teacher Appreciation Week was last month, and I wanted to share what we did for our staff. I thought they turned out so cute! We got the ideas from Pinterest, but changed it up a bit and made it our own!

On Monday they received these awesome tumbler cups with our school name and logo. Attached was a Crystal Light packet and note that said "Thanks for quenching Northfield's thirst for knowledge! ~ PTO".

On Tuesday they received breakfast provided by the school.

On Wednesday they received these packages of Extra gum along with a note that said "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little EXTRA! Thanks for always going the extra mile for Northfield Elementary! ~ PTO"

On Thursday they received their favorite Sonic drinks from the school.

And on Friday we provided them with a BBQ luncheon.

I think it was a great week, and I hope they enjoyed their gifts! Our teachers work SO hard and give so much, it's nice to give back to them!

Tomorrow I will post pictures of what I personally gave to my daughter's teacher and the aides for Teacher Appreciation Week!! I'm really excited about them as well!!
