Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week. It’s a dedicated week-long celebration where we get to recognize and celebrate all the contributions teachers make to better our kids’ lives through the education and love they provide. We think teachers should always be thanked and celebrated, but especially during this week.
Below you will find some fun gift ideas that involve your kids and won’t break the bank. Your kids’ teachers will feel loved and appreciated.
Gift Basket
For all the local families, contact Kimberly Kraemer with MN Basket Girl to support a small business and purchase a gift basket to be delivered to your teacher’s doorstep. When ordering make sure to mention APPLE to receive a free apple inside your teacher gift basket. How cute are these!?!?

Send a Video to your Teacher
Now more than ever, teachers are missing their student’s faces! Make their week by filming and sending them a video of your kids saying hi and wishing them a great week!

Printables
This is where your kids can get involved and personally say Thank You! We have created 10 Printables for your kids to color and create! Print one or all ten! They can add personal notes and display their love and appreciation through art! Have fun!
We think now more than ever teachers deserve to hear how much we appreciate them. They work hard for our kids everyday, and are now in unfamiliar territory creating digital lesson plans. Teachers are called to teach, and love it because of the interactions they have with our kids. Abruptly having the school year end this way pains them more than we know. Some teachers didn’t get to say goodbyes to their kiddos for those who were on Spring Break when COVID hit.
Let’s show them how much we care, appreciate and miss them!
