This is a fabulous idea…not just the preparing and giving of meals, and the spirit behind it, but all the thought into just how to carry out such a thoughtful gift that keeps on giving throughout the school year…and, when needed most. Even to the point of considering the teachers’ feelings over receiving such kindnesses. Some people embrace gifts and are gracious, while others struggle and feel awkward not knowing what to do or how to reciprocate. You completely eliminate such feelings of obligation in this perfect scenario. Sandy, you ROCK! So glad I stopped by today. You need a pretty stand-out graphic to pin to family and diy boards at Pinterest. This idea needs to be shared to an even wider audience…to other moms who visit Pinterest to collect ideas. I would only be happy to pin on all the large group boards. :) xo

Love it. Think I will have to remember this idea and offer it to my girls’ teachers this year.

I love to give the teachers a little something special at each holiday.

I was given dinner twice in my 7 years of teaching and it was such a blessing! Also a great gift is bringing lunch- either homecooked or from a restaurant- as long as I knew ahead of time. It was always so nice to not have to pack a lunch. And then gift cards are always a fabulous gift! Gifts I could do without… Mugs, lotions, candles… You can only have so many of those items.

I send in a menu and let them choose what they want and when they want it. They’ve loved it!

Teaching does take so much time away from your own home and family. Receiving meals like this periodically would be such a gift. I think it’s a great idea!

Another idea…gift cards. Teachers spend tons of money on their classroom and the kids. Schools do not supply all that is needed for teaching. Also, there are always kids who don’t have what they need and teachers take care of those things. Basic needs have to be met more often than you might think. A gift card to Wal Mart or somewhere like that is helpful.
