Staff Appreciation Week

Hi Elyse,

I am doing kind of what I did last year which is do a theme each day. I have 4 teachers to buy for but since you are doing it for the school it could be easier for example:

Monday- Muffin Monday take in muffins

Tuesday- You take the cake! You can bake a cake for them to share!

Wednesday- You are out of the this World Wednesday- take in a bag of Milky Ways for the teachers to Share

Thursday-Thirsty Thursday- Send drinks for the teachers to share at lunch or Thankful Thursday.. you can do cards as well on this day..

Friday- Free Lunch Friday.. You could make a pot of soup and take in sandwiches or

Flower Friday- My daughter made pens with flowers on them in little pots they are so cute.. We got the stuff from Dollar Tree!

Fabulous Friday- Send notes to all the teachers telling them how great they are..

Hope these help!

I used to work at a daycare, and my favorite gifts were gift cards and lotions. Handmade cards from the kids are great to put on display in the classsroom (I had a bulletin board just for pics and cards from the kids). I know lotions seems cliche, but as many times as I washed my hands, I went through tons of lotion! Gift cards to Target, Walmart, or Starbucks are great ideas! Or to their favorite restaurant or a movie theater. It doesn't have to be a big amount. A $5 Starbuck's gift card is well appreciated! We always loved it when breakfast was provided for us! So if you want to do something for the whole staff, bring in a fruit tray, or breakfast burritos, or bagels. So sweet of you to want to do something! I never expected to get gifts or anything, but it was so sweet and appreciated when I did!

I suggest that you contact Kim Bransford at Nana Puddins Embroidery. She has some awesome bags that she is doing. You can add their names and all kinds of fun stuff. Her number is ###-###-####. Tell her J. sent you!

Heres what I am doing- I bought little metal pans on the dollar aisle at target- then Im putting 2 mini can cokes in each, another snack- maybe micro popcorn and I made personalized candy bar wrappers to put on Hershey bars. Then Im putting a 5.00 gift card in each basket. Prob to half price books or target. Add some sredded paper and a card and its a cute, inexpensive gift. Its not alot, but enough to say thank you.
