Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas

It’s the beginning of August, which means the first day of school is just around the corner! I wanted to share a fun and cute idea for showing a little teacher appreciation for those hectic, stressful first days of the new school year.

Before entering my current position as a Church Administrator, I was a Preschool teacher. One of the things I remember fondly, was the little ways parents showed their appreciation for us; they really touched my heart. I decided long ago that when my children went to school, the teachers would always know how much I appreciated the hard work and dedication they put into their field.

Each year, I put together a few little gifts for the kids’ teachers and the staff at the preschool. It’s a small school, just five staff members.

I am a big believer in keeping it simple, and that the smallest gestures can make the biggest impact.

Here’s what I did last year:

I just wanted to do something very simple for the whole staff. I decided to give them a little healthy snack, since I know how long those first few days of school can be.

I used google search to find a cute clipart apple and I created a simple notecard:

I also included a hand written note inside, wishing them all blessings on the first day of school and through the year.

I also put some small bottles of hand sanitizer and a few chocolates in a small bag and tied it with the same little note card, including a personal note for each teacher.

The whole set of gifts cost me about $10, and went a long way to help them all feel appreciated, as the year is just getting underway.

How do you get ready for the first day of school?

    How nice of you to do this. As a retired teacher, I can tell you that teachers appreciate anything that shows you care.

    Ahhh how sweet. I never did any of this with Gabe, but I can’t wait to make these memories with Holden and his teachers.

    This is a lovely idea. I always write a little note introducing myself to them, especially if they are a new teacher, and letting them know that I’m available to help out with supplying buns, going on trips etc and that we are praying for them as they start the new school year. A wee gift like this would make all the difference! Thanks! 🙂

    What a sweet gesture of appreciation! As the director of an integrted preschool (children with and without disabilities) I know how giddy my teachers are when just a simple thoughtful act of kindness is provided.

    I love the hand sanitzer! As we all know, our little ones can be the carriers of cooties!

    Take care,
    Sue
