Teacher appreciation

I know the "actual" date that has been officially declared as teacher appreciation day was in April....but our school celebrates once a week, with a grade hosted potluck lunch for the teachers. This way, the teachers get a hosted lunch each week for 6 weeks. Not too shabby!

Today was the 4th grade hosted lunch and Mr. Dude whipped up his extra-fantabulous triple choco-yum cookies.

I decorated CD envelopes and put a large cookie in each one, and delivered 30 of those yummy bad boys to the staff room. They were all gone before lunch was over!

Happy Mother's Day

Teacher Gifties, 2011

It's teacher appreciation week/staff appreciation week and there are many cute ideas out there in the blogging universe. I found this cute *FREE* subway art at EIGHTEEN 25.

A few months ago Mr. Dude bought a Groupon to Vistaprint for $50 worth of products for $10. I thought of the notepads and cards that I could make and when I saw the FREE subway art, it was like the entire universe aligned, and everything "clicked". Did I mention the subway art is FREE? I didn't have to come up with a cute graphic or try to recreate this...it was FREE! ;)

I'll post an entry when it comes in the mail. I'll be giving them their gifts at the end of the school year, in the meantime, we have teacher lunches each week until the end of the school year to show our appreciation.
