This May (5-9) marks our nation's annual hommage to teachers and school staff members. If you are a superintendent, administrator, principal or PTA/PTO parent group leader, this is your hint to put together a special recognition event for these professionals who do so much for the children in your community.
Kick off Teacher Appreciation Week with a special breakfast and serve bagels, juice and coffee. Hand out lapel pins for every school staff member to wear as a symbol of their pride in teaching.
Later in the week, throw an assembly in your auditorum and invite students to share in the festivities. Children can make banners and signs to hand throughtout the school.
Leave special gifts on teacher's desks or in their mailboxes such as coffee mugs, high-end writing instruments and desk accessories with your school's name and a message of appreciation imprinted on it.
Finish off the week with a luncheon or ice cream social and give out special gifts like USB memory drives or an attractive brief case or tote bag.
Your generosity during Teacher Appreciation Week will go a long way to letting your staff know that their efforts are recognized and admired.

What, Michael, no apples? ha! Yes, I agree it is very important to show tangible appreciation for teachers, both in school and in church. Everyone needs to know they are appreciated, especially when the pay is nothing, or next-to-nothing, but the influence is so great! Good article! Respond to this comment
