Teacher Appreciation
Make it Personal and Meaningful

Teachers appreciate all gestures that recognize their hard work and emotional investment, but they especially value personal expressions of thanks and recognition. This kit will provide ideas and small gifts to show you recognize their contributions to the school climate and culture and their commitment to the well-being of your students.

If you need more of the buttons, pens, coasters, or Kudos notepads, they are available at JostensRenaissance.com/store or contact your Jostens rep.
