Creative ways to say thank you to a favorite teacher
During National Teacher Appreciation Week, which is celebrated annually during the first full week of May, the goal is to show teachers how much they're honored and valued. Luncheons, breakfasts and small gifts are common ways to express these sentiments. But Nancy Bock, Vice President of Education at The Soap and Detergent Association has some other creative ideas to share.
- When supplies like handwipes, hand gel and tissues don't come out of the school budget, many teachers personally absorb the cost. It would be a thoughtful gesture to restock with a quantity that's sufficient to finish out the school year.
- While the custodial staff handles major cleaning, that doesn't include cleaning the teacher's supply closet, desk drawers or file cabinets. Offer to come in and help with these tasks. Since the school year is almost at an end, you might want to make the offer in the form of a gift certificate redeemable in a few weeks.
- Create a customized gift basket with classroom-friendly items like bulletin-board borders, sticky notepads, novelty pencils and erasers, disinfecting wipes, handwipes, award pads, stickers, washable markers, rubber stamps and stamp pads, bottles of glue and glue sticks.
