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.

Such cute ideas here! I've done the candy bar poems for teachers for years. So I'm thinking of the smarties candies filling up those water bottles. Then they can share them with the kids too!
ReplyDeleteThese are great ideas, Thanks! I dont think my high schooler will appreciate them but I will save the idea for next year when my daughter starts kinder!
ReplyDeleteI'm a library media specialist now, but I taught in the classroom for ten years. I have to say...I always loved getting supplies I could use in the classroom - ink for my printer, books for the classroom library, batteries for the camera, dry erase markers, etc. As a parent, I always send flowers with my son on the first day of school that says, "Looking forward to growing with you this year" and it always goes over well!!
ReplyDeleteWe do water bottles with a phrase about "It must be in the water..." for the teachers.
