Gift Ideas for that Special Teacher in your Life!

How You Can Show Appreciation

The decision to teach often comes with low-to-moderate pay, and around-the-clock hours. Support from families can ease the difficult work teachers do. PTA Teacher Appreciation Week is the perfect time to personally thank your students’ teachers for their sacrifices and support for children throughout the year. While appreciation alone will not reduce the challenges teachers face, it will let them know their efforts are not going unnoticed.
Here’s how you can honor teachers:

• Write letters and cards of appreciation to your students’ teachers throughout the week and ask you students’ teachers how you can support them throughout the year.
• Show your support for the tremendous work teachers do by volunteering in your students’ classrooms.
• Nominate your students’ teachers for local and national awards.
• Give the gift of PTA membership to a teacher in your life.
• Follow the new PTA Pinterest boards for more teacher appreciation ideas.
