(NC)—As another school year winds down, students and their parents are confronted with that age old question: What to get for that teacher who meant so much this year? Here are some unique gift ideas to let your child's teacher know how much you and your child appreciated them:
Beach supplies. After a long school year, teachers have earned that summer vacation, so why not send them off in style? A beach bag filled lotion, towel, good book, and a few refreshments will help start their summer off right.
Something for their classroom. Many teachers take money out of their own pockets to purchase items to help create an ideal learning environment for your child, so why not lend a hand? Give art supplies, books, musical instruments, or even a play table for younger children. Add an inscription to celebrate that special teacher.
A gift donation. Let's face it, most teachers don't need another box of chocolates or trinket for their desk. But what about a gift donation to help other teachers and students? Christian Children's Fund of Canada, an international children's charity, allows you to provide school supplies, art kits, books, even uniforms, to impoverished classrooms around the world -- all in the name of your special teacher. Think how excited they will be with this unique gift and to learn they're helping even more children a world away.You can make a gift donation in the name of your teacher online at www.ccfcanada.ca.
