We all have fond memories of special teachers from our formative years. Teachers who celebrated our achievements with us and guided us through difficult days. The impact they had on our lives is immeasurable.

Teachers invest countless hours and what seems like endless amounts of energy into our little one’s lives. Their dedication and passion for helping to prepare our children for the future is worthy of our appreciation. Even a simple, hand-written note of thanks could mean the world to an exhausted teacher. But, if you are looking for a really special, unique gift for your child’s teacher this year, then you have come to the right place!

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 1 – May 5, 2017. It’s coming up fast, so we put together the ULTIMATE gift guide featuring beautiful, handmade products that your children’s teachers will cherish for years to come!

Don’t forget to thank your support staff as well! Custodians, teacher’s aides, lunch staff, secretaries, principals and all those who keep the school running behind the scenes are very much appreciated too!
