Teacher Appreciation Meal

I am fortunate to have a friend who is a master at serving food to large groups of people. She always helps me with the meal for Teacher Appreciation Week. This year, we did Navajo Tacos. This is a fried scone (Utah style...I think often called "elephant ears" in different parts) with meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream...whatever you might put on a taco. We bought all of the ingredients for 130 at Sams.

We had room moms and volunteers bring a dessert. People love bringing desserts. Most people can easily throw something together. Teachers loved the variety of sweet treats. We also had a variety of drinks.

We finished the meal off with each teacher getting a gift card--teachers love gift cards!

Teacher Gift: Pamper Set

We wanted to give the teachers something they could use to just pamper themselves. 

We did a lufa, nailpolish, bubble bath, hand lotion, and chap stick. We were able to get a lot of the things from AVON for a really reasonable price. Here is a link to the gift tag: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B984Wp7G0yTWbUVwSDkwSEcyMDQ/edit?usp=sharing 

School Supply Gift

To go along with the theme of "You've Colored Our World, Now Let Us Brighten Yours," we gave the teachers a school supply kit with the colors of the rainbow. We included crayons, glue, pens, pencils, pencil top erasers, notebook, tissues, and sanitizing wipes, all in a cute bag. We bought most of these supplies last summer during the sales that lead up to the school year starting off. The pencil top erasers were purchased through Amazon--they have some great deals there. We bought them in gross boxes and then divided them up in those little treat bags.

Here is a link to the tag we put on it.
