Celebrating Teacher Appreciation Day and Week

Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week from May 3rd to 8^th with Teacher Appreciation Day falling right in the middle on May 5^th. This is the time to say just how much you appreciate those hard-working individuals that teach your kids, focus on getting them excited about learning, and shape them as individuals with life skills and good decision-making skills.

If you are not sure what your children’s teachers might like, here are some examples of beautiful flower arrangements and other gifts that are a great way to say “thank you” to them:
