A few years back I was in charge of all of the TEACHER APPRECIATION stuff at our elementary school. I LOVED spoiling our teachers. They do SO VERY MUCH for our children! Since TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK is coming up soon for most of the country, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite things that I was able to do for our staff, over the next week or so.
One year I created a COOKIES & MILK bar for our teachers to enjoy! I created a sign up online and asked for 12 different people to each bring 2 dozen of their favorite homemade cookies.
We got SUCH a great variety and I think the teachers really enjoyed it!
I also bought the BIGGEST jar I could find at Target…
…and filled it up with about 8 different packages of cookies.
Everything from OREOS to Chips Ahoy to E.L. Fudge.
I had each teacher GUESS the amount of cookies they thought were in there and the winner took home the jar AND the cookies.
{The answer was 222. And yes – – someone guess it
RIGHT ON THE DOT.}
I whipped up the food card labels and banner and went with a pink theme – – since that’s what I seem to have a lot of in my random collections at home.
It was such a FUN theme and something DIFFERENT than the norm.
Now I have the sudden desire to go make some homemade chocolate chip cookies!!!
