Tomorrow is the last day of school! It's a day of class parties, pictures, goodbyes and a teacher/staff luncheon I'm putting together for FPAC. I've enjoyed my 2 years but it's time to say goodbye. Bath and Body Works...I love this place. I went here to get all the teachers a little gift. The girl helping me gave me the bags and the ribbon to go with the lotion, awesome! I made the tags before I got the lotions and I was so happy to find these with the bright summer colors. I've included a tag without the love, FPAC in case you need a gift idea for your teachers :)

Teacher Appreciation Week

Teacher Appreciation Week is next week. (May 2-6th) As I've mentioned before, my committee on FPAC (our school's PTA) is Teacher Appreciation. I'm always on the lookout for ideas and cute things to do for the teachers. I wanted to share with you a couple of websites I've come across in case you need an idea. I will say this...I am not afraid of being cheesy. Last year, I put some apples and carmel dip together and wrote a note that said, 'You're the apple of our eye'. It's true though! I love teachers and admire the work they do.
Here are some ideas:

You deserve chocolate!

I purchased 10, yes 10 bags of Cadbury Mini eggs the other day. I mean seriously, who does not LOVE the mini eggs?!

For almost 2 years, I've been on the PTA (our school calls it FPAC) at the school. I'm over Teacher and Staff Appreciation. It's a lot of work however it's been so much fun to do things for the teachers and staff during the year.

I've learned that you can put almost anything in a treat bag, tie it with some ribbon, attach a super cheesy saying, and the teachers just love it. (they really don't get enough praise for what they do for our kids)
I had to get those mini eggs out of my house ASAP! :)

teacher gift idea

I was browsing all my favorite digital scrapbooking websites last night and came across a really cute Christmas gift idea for teachers. The great thing about it is you can personalize it with whatever you want and it doesn't cost a lot of money. (and come on, who doesn't love chocolate?! After dealing with our children 5 days a week, these nice people deserve a treat and then some)

One of B&P's favorite things to do at Christmas is to make their own handmade cards and letters for their teachers so we'll include those with the chocolate. I wonder if their teachers enjoy Diet Coke as much as I do...I need to look into that...
