Cost:
Set aside a small amount each month. Check first for donations.

Description:
Instead of celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week, try doing a little something each month to let teachers know they are appreciated.

Preparation:
Assign a different month to a group of volunteers. Give each group examples, or let them come up with their own creative idea.
Depending on the size of the "little something," either place in mailboxes or designate an area, such as the Teacher's Lounge, for their monthly treat.
