What are some teacher appreciation ideas from the PTA?

Teacher appreciation ideas from the PTA (or other parent-teacher organization at your school) include:

• Cater a lunch or brunch or hire a food truck, and recruit parent volunteers to cover the classes while the teachers enjoy a meal.
• Set up an ice cream sundae buffet with a variety of sauces and toppings. Similar ideas include a soda mocktail buffet or hot beverage buffet.
• Provide a potluck soup and salad buffet where each family contributes a different soup or salad.
• Purchase a class set of a book of the teacher’s choice (e.g., 24 copies of a YA novel the teacher wants to assign).
• Organize a group gift card to a major retailer that sells a variety of things.
• Stock the break room with enough snacks and beverages for the last few weeks of school.
• Organize parent volunteers to cover the teachers’ lunch and recess duties for the week.
