We like to craft here in our house. And we believe in putting our heart into our homemade gifts.This year we made our teachers and staff small nugget bags with toppers. I showed the boys how to wrap each nugget and top with a decorative topper and label.
The boys jumped in and wrapped nuggets hoping there would be extra....not today, boys! Gotta go back tomorrow and buy 3 more bags...and take some math classes. Your momma didn't add the supplies up right. Oops!
Our little neighborhood school is a wonderful gem in our large metro area. We have staff and teachers that know each child by name and are genuinely interested in every single one of them. We have parent volunteers that make a huge impact on the development of the students either by directly teaching small groups or by assisting the teachers in the various small tasks that take up so much of the precious moments at school. 
Like all of America, our school district is painfully (and shamefully!) under-funded, yet every year our little school with heart gathers itself up and lives to fight another day, hoping against hope that there will be funding - somehow - for the necessary teaching staff and materials.We like saying thank you to everyone...we want them to know that we need each-and-every single one.
THANK YOU!
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! ;)
