Teacher Appreciation Door Ideas

Teacher Appreciation is next week. I was asked to make some door posters for the staff at my kids' school. The school provided the poster board and black cardstock and I came up with the ideas (with the help of Pinterest). My friend has a Cricut machine and cut all the letters and designs and I glued them on. They turned out soo cute! The reason we did poster board and not the full door size paper is because the fire marshall said it was against fire code. So if that is true, I just wanted to pass that important information along. Personally, I think doing it on poster board instead of the full door was a huge benefit for my time and was much easier to make and transport to the school. We did 14 posters in all.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all teachers out there!

Quick And Easy May/End Of Year Teacher Appreciation Idea

I finally got through all those school supplies I bought last August and saved the highlighters for the end. I printed up these cute tags and they're ready to go! My kids only have NINE days of school left. CrAzY! Is it too soon to say "Have a great Summer!" ,"Stay cool", or "Don't ever change" ?? I can say for sure, Happy end of school!

Sharp!

Supplies: Sharpie Markers, fun tape or washi tape, printed and cut tags.

November Teacher Appreciation Idea {Thanks for Sticking With Us!}

My requirements for this month were: use supplies I already had (I bought a ton of supplies at the back to school supplies sale in August at Walmart), and to make it "Thanksgiving-ish." This is what I came up with:

Labels made in Word
{Treat Bags}

October Teacher Appreciation Idea {Bugs & Kisses}

I found this idea on pinterest and got the printable from {here}.

I ordered the kisses and spider rings off Amazon. The bags were leftover from October teacher appreciation last year {which you can see HERE} and the ribbon I already had. Super easy!

Bugs and kisses to you too, have a great week :)

September Teacher Appreciation {reMARKERable}

I got this idea through pinterest from here.

1. Buy a ton of supplies for cheap at back to school sales! In my case, I have to find 36 of everything.

2. Type up and print your label in a word document. I thought it would be cute to use coordinating yellow cardstock.

Looking forward to a

r e M A R K E R a b l e

school year!

FROM THE PTO

3. Cut tags and attach simply with tape.

Done!

Hope your school year is off to a good start!

August Teacher Appreciation {Back to School Survival Kit}

It's Back to School time, and that means back to my Teacher Appreciation projects.

I got all the supplies at Walmart, in their back to school section. These pencil cases were 47 cents! I also picked up push pins, rubber bands, paper clips, and of course, chocolate.

I found the back to school survival kit printable tag {here}.

On the back of the tags I typed this:

This survival kit contains:

rubber bands, pins and paper clips

to help you “keep it together.”

In case of emergency:

break open chocolate.

Welcome back!

F R O M  T H E  P T O

And this is how it turned out:

Welcome back to school! Have a great week.

June Teacher/Principal Appreciation {Picture Perfect Movie Tickets}

For this end-of-school-year teacher/principal appreciation, I was asked to come up with something special for a teacher who is retiring and our principal who is leaving for another school. I bought movie theater tickets with drinks and popcorn gift cerificates. I designed a simple "movie ticket" in Word, printed them on cardstock and cut out the sides with half a circle punch and glued to a simple envelope and put the certificates inside. A great way to say thank you and all ready for a fun summer movie night!

May Teacher & Volunteer Appreciation Idea {end of school year gift}

This month's teacher appreciation also included a year end gift for all the parent volunteers. I needed something cheap and easy for mass production (38 staff members and 50 volunteers). Did you know that Walmart sells 6 packs of full sized candy bars for less than $4??? Super awesome, super easy, super cheap. I typed up a tag in a word document, hole punched, cut, tied, done.

Done till next school year, that is!!!

April Teacher Appreciation {Thanks For Helping Our Students Grow!}

I originally got this idea off pinterest where someone put a live flower in a pot with this phrase. I thought it would be perfect for a Spring teacher appreciation gift. I happened upon these juice glasses at a store called Gordman's on super duper clearance - they ended up being about $1.35 for a 6 pack! Major score! Since I have to supply enough for a staff of 36-38, anything I see less than a dollar is what I try to find, that's about 23 cents a piece. Then I bought tulips at the Dollar Tree, each bunch had about 6-7, so that's about 14 cents per flower, and I also bought the clear bags in the party section, 50 for $2, so that's 4 cents a piece. I bought Easter colored M&M's and Jelly Beans (just in case someone doesn't like chocolate?!?!) and used measuring cups to fill the glasses. Then I printed the phrase on green cardstock and cut them into leaf shapes and attached them to the tulip stems with floral  tape. 

Happy Spring, teachers!

January Teacher Appreciation "Chappy New Year!"

While I was "in town," I was able to visit Target and I scored on some great clearance items I had in mind for Teacher Appreciation. I was inspired by a pin I saw on pinterest that said "Merry Kiss-mass and Chappy New Year" with chapstick. 

I found these cute pocket calendars for 50 cents a piece in the Target dollar spot and packages of Lipsmackers in the clearance Christmas stocking stuffers section. Then I just purchased some $1 ribbon and printed up a tag:

Have a “CHAPPY” New Year!

We hope your 2014 is “LIPSMACKER” good!

...and tied it all together! I think they turned out super cute!

December Teacher Appreciation {ORANGE You Glad}

I read somewhere that teachers prefer food to knick knacks. I decided to do oranges this month -- they're "Christmas-y", right? They're in season, delicious, healthy... who can go wrong? 

So I gathered my supplies...

I typed up a little tag:

ORANGE

you glad

it’s almost

winter break?

We hope you have a

Happy Holiday!

And tied it all together. ORANGE you glad I did this?

Have a great weekend! It's only 13 days 'til Christmas!
