$20.00 bill.
Any ideas for presents for the teachers for their end of school year teacher appreciation gifts?
No mugs, no "apple" themed things, no junk. In the $20 range.
Go.
Gift card from "educate and celebrate" in Waldorf. I'm a H.O.T, I know these things.
A bottle of whiskey, a bottle of Excedrin and a shot glass.
Why not give them school supplies for next year?
There is a teacher at Calvert Middle that needs a bone marrow match. Get tested at CMS on 5-21-11. That would be a good gift.
They also have a store in Prince Frederick. This is a great idea (I usually drop $200 there every August, ).
You know, there are certainly days when these three things would be greatly appreciated but I'm not sure how PC this is ...
Good idea (or a gift card to Staples/Office Depot).
Now this one really puts things into perspective! Can you post some more details for those of us who might be able to participate in this?
As far as the other suggestions go, the most treasured items are the cards/notes/letters from the students. Those are the things that go into the "treasure box" at my house. If you want to throw in gift card/gift certificate, the most useful ones are those for gas, books, office supplies, pizza places (we like to treat our students every now & then), or restaurants. Home-baked items are ALWAYS appreciated!!
Thanks for sharing that story about the trip for the teacher. I don't believe I've every heard of such a thing in all my 29 years of teaching. Guess it's because I never worked at a private school where people had money enough to have timeshares, air miles, etc. Wow! Although, come to think of it, I'd feel kind of funny getting a gift like that, so I guess it's a good thing I teach in a public school!

CALVERT MIDDLE SCHOOL PTSA
BONE MARROW SCREENING DRIVE
SATURDAY, MAY 21, 2011
CALVERT MIDDLE SCHOOL
PRINCE FREDERICK, MD
9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
The Calvert Middle School PTSA will be sponsoring a bone marrow screening drive on May 21st at CMS. Rod Stewart is a teacher at CMS and has been diagnosed with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML). Rod is the husband of fellow Calvert Middle School teacher Karin Stewart. He is the father of two beautiful teenage daughters, Meggie and Carli. Recently he was told that the oral chemotherapy drugs are no longer effective and he needs a bone marrow transplant. There are currently no matches for Rod in the National Bone Marrow Registry. Family members who have been tested have not provided the match he needs. Currently a bone marrow transplant is the only option that Rod has to beat his cancer. There are people like Rod all over the world, waiting to find that perfect match. Our hope is that while helping Rod, we will also touch the lives of others as well.
Please make the time to come on May 21st to become part of the National Bone Marrow Registry (BE THE MATCH REGISTRY), to make a dream come true. The bone marrow screening consists of a simple mouth swab. There are certain guidelines that have to be met in order to donate, including being between the ages of 18-60 and being in good general health. For more information, go to the BE THE MATCH website at marrow.org or call
Karin Stewart (443) 624-3440

Karin's my niece, which I guess makes Rod my nephew-in-law(?). Rod's a great guy and this is a great family. Any help would be appreciated. Hope to see you on the 21st!
Thanks,
Jim

I give candy bouquets to all the teachers. A local lady that has a gift basket business that does it. Love her product caters to all price range and delivers them as well. I've sent you a PM with her info.
