Teacher Appreciation Week runs May 3 to 7 in 2027. Districts, schools, PTAs and local businesses thank teachers and staff, often with one gift for every staff member in a building, packed and delivered by school.
Gift ideas by budget
| Budget per person | Ideas |
|---|---|
| Under $15 | Insulated tumbler, tote bag, t-shirt |
| $15 to $35 | Crewneck or hoodie, insulated lunch bag, teacher planner |
| $35 and up | Quarter zip, fleece blanket, backpack |
Include all staff
Count aides, office staff, custodians and food service staff, not only teachers. One gift for everyone in the building avoids anyone feeling left out.
Districts and many schools
For district-wide gifts, we pack by school with a count on each carton.
Businesses thanking local schools
A local business can sponsor gifts for a school, with its name on the card or tag, not a large logo on the item.
