Back To School Teacher Appreciation Ideas

Looking for a FUN way to kick off the school year by showing your child/children's Teachers you appreciate them?

I discovered some simple and fun ideas at Skip To My Lou by Cindy Hopper that are sure to bring a smile to every Teachers face as they begin a new school year. These ideas are also great for your school PTA/VPO to use as well.

Back to school ideas for teacher appreciation

I found these cool water bottles on clearance at Wal-mart so our PTO purchased them for our teachers. Do you have an idea for a cute saying?

I was thinking……..
“We are filled to the brim with great teachers”
I thought there was a individual drink powder called “Performance” and I would say, “We hope this year out performs all the others” —but there is not.
I would love to hear your ideas!!
Many of the following ideas could be used by your Parent Teacher Organization” to welcome back the entire teaching staff.

• Apples “you are the apple of our eye”
• Container of paper clips “to help you hold everything together this year”
• Jolly Ranchers ” We hope you will have a happy year”
• 100,000 Grand Bar ” We know the work you do this year will be worth more than 100,000 Grand”
• Pencils “Thank you for helping our children write the future”
• Nature’s Harvest Bar “Thank you for helping our children harvest their potential”
• Notepads “A note to say we think your school has the best teachers!”
• Skore Bar “Your school or child’s name has ’skored’ big when we got you for a teacher”
• Can of pop “We are bubbling over with excitement to have you for our teacher”
• Whopper candy “We hope you will have a ‘whopper’ of a year”
• Rulers “We hope this year really measures up”
• Goldfish crackers “We hope this will be o’fish’ally the best year” or ” Your school o’fish’ally has the best teachers”
