Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6…are you ready for it?
You probably have a lot going on at the moment, so we rounded up some fun ideas to help your group bring a Taylor Swift themed teacher appreciation celebration to life. It's highly likely that many of your teachers are Swifties...and a Taylor Swift theme set-up (like this one from The Goddard School below) is so fun to pull together:
A few Taylor Swift teacher appreciation ideas we're loving...
- Wildest (or mildest) dreams taco bar (with hot and mild sauces)
- "Look what you made me brew" coffee and treats
- Taylor's fave snacks, like chicken fingers, diet Coke (she's a huge fan, apparently), pink lemonade fudge, and her must-have chai cookies
- Time magazine cover with the staff as "People of the Year" (check out this customizable one from Etsy)
- "Karma is the Guy on the Chiefs" football snacks, like chips and dip
- Friendship bracelets
- "Shake it off" smoothie bar
- #WaterTok hydration station, featuring the Teacher Haze drink (inspired by Taylor Swift's song, Lavender Haze) - get our printable sign and recipes
- A flower bouquet bar featuring Taylor's faves: orchids, hydrangeas, and roses
- Ask students to handwrite letters to Taylor Swift, inviting her to come to your school for Teacher Appreciation Week (yes, really)
- Pick a snack to feature for an "In our (fill in the blank) era" theme. Leona Libby Middle School PTO's "In our apple era" caramel apple bar was a huge hit with teachers! If your teachers like chocolate (likely), try an "In my chocolate era" theme. Don't forget these red lipstick chocolate candies!
- Hold a giveaway for teachers to win this "A lot going on at the moment" tumbler (what teacher couldn't use another emotional support water bottle?).
