End Of Year Teacher Appreciation Gift

It's so hard to believe that this school year is coming to an end. Where did the time go? After looking at McKenzie's School Pictures from the fall, I couldn't believe how much her baby- appearance has morphed into a full on kid! Her development this past year has made us so proud. She has gone from a shy little toddler to an outgoing spirit that loves to explore and learn. I have to give credit to our pre-school teachers, Mrs. Tammy and Mrs. Kim. Their warm hearts and patient personalities have helped here with her social skills as well as created fun and upbeat faith-based learning experiences each and every day. We are so going to miss them and would love if they would reconsider moving up with McKenzie into each grade-level until High School Graduation. I know that's just wishful thinking, however it's not too much to ask for is it? ;)

To show our appreciate for all the love and hard work they've put into not only my child but 14 others as well, I put together a little gift tote filled with summer fun items to help kick start their soon -to -be time off!

As I stopped by my local  Walmart I felt inspired by these adorable picnic beach totes that I found on their summer aisle and created a functional gift that would hopefully get the excitement of summer started!

Gift Set Contents:

• MAINSTAYS Aluminum Handle Basket - cheaper in store $14
• MAINSTAYS Chevron Beach Towel
• S'Mores Kit: 
• BBQ Skewers, Graham Cracker Squares 
• Large Marshmallows 
• Hershey's Chocolate Bar
• Gift Tag Printable: Uncommon Designs

Each Teacher's Gift cost approximately $25! Of course you can add, remove or replace any item. The tote is the bread and butter and the filling is the icing on the cake! I'll have to admit though, I couldn't help but buy myself a tote while I was at it. Too cute and too much of a steal to pass up :)

This is the least I could do for the two ladies that have brought a great big smile to my child's face every day and set the foundation for fun learning! Thank you again Mrs. Tammy and Mrs. Kim, we are certainly going to miss you!
