“I am the event coordinator for our PTO and I came up with an idea this year to give the teachers a 'Welcome Back to School Sack.' We thought this would be a neat appreciation gift for the teachers. We put all the items in a brown lunch sack and then tied them shut with raffia and then cut out the poem below and pasted it on a red paper apple as the tag. We then sat them on each teacher’s desk before school started.”
