A time to give thanks

It can be overwhelming to try to give something to everyone at school during Christmas time, and often the support staff is overlooked during holiday giving time, so Thanksgiving is the perfect time to acknowledge the people in my children's lives, from the classroom teachers and special subject teachers to the school nurse, secretary, and receptionists. An apple with caramel sauce is a simple, inexpensive, and usually much-appreciated gift. Teachers don't often receive actual apples, and it's a healthy(ish), single-serving snack. 

Just dress them up with some tulle, twine, and a cute little tag, and they are set!

Ellie signed her name on the back of the tags, and each tag was personalized with the recipient's name. None of them expected a token of gratitude for Thanksgiving, so the surprised and happy looks on their faces were pretty awesome.
