Since it’s teacher appreciation week, I thought I should take just a minute to say that how much I LOVE the teachers at Pike View Elementary.  Pike View is right across the street from our church, and it also happens to be the school my kids attend.  Yesterday we had the amazing privilege of blessing the teachers with a luncheon at our church and since I am often searching the internet for new or creative ways of appreciating teachers, I thought I would share what we did.

Volunteers from church and PTA parents took an hour off to hang out in the classrooms with the kids so that the teachers could enjoy being away a little longer for lunch and eat all together.  Our wonderful hospitality queen at church (Rhonda) put together a team of people to serve lunch to the teachers.

The Menu

Fresh Fruit

Fresh Mozerella Caprese Salad

They decorated the tables with a summer theme, using colorful straw hats, flamingo plates and balloons, brightly colored floral arrangements and beach towels.   Each teacher got to take home their beach towel as a reminder that summer is just around the corner!  Only one month left!

Those of us in the classrooms got a chance to have a little taste of the task these teachers have before them.  I cannot imagine showing up day after day after day doing what they do!  It is amazing!

I think they felt loved and blessed by their very short little getaway!  We love them! Yay for teachers everywhere!

(I meant to take pictures of the gorgeous tables!  I will remember next time!)
