Here is the second installment of teacher appreciation ideas we’ve gathered from our community of PTO and PTA volunteers who recently participated in our Say Thanks to Teachers Contest. These ideas may come in handy if you are looking for a last-minute gift idea or need something that is quick and not too costly. Thanks to everyone who participated in our contest!
