When I go off dairy, I crave it something fierce for a few days.

It is appreciation, because they are getting something for their classroom, of their choosing, without having to spend their own money. Less one size fits all and more you get to pick what you want. :: ::: We will have to agree to disagree on this one... in my book providing a teacher with the supplies they need and want isn’t how you show them appreciation for their hard work. It is how they should be treated everyday. Sometimes it is the thought that counts, even if it is a one size fits all gift. Did I get some pretty useless stuff that wasn’t what I would have picked out during Nurses Week? Sure, but I knew it was a thoughtful gesture. If they would have used that money to buy more gloves and masks and put a bow on it for me, I would have been pretty offended. Doesn't have to be basic supplies, could be classroom decor, something useful for their desk or something fun that they want for the classroom. IMO, knowing that teachers spend their own cash and letting them pick something and not have to spend their own cash, shows that you appreciate that fact. Of course, still spend some money on a luncheon or thoughtful card.

I think there are lots of good ideas here, but giving them something for their classroom or a gift card to buy things for the classroom for teacher appreciation!? I am well aware that teachers do a lot for their rooms and their students with their own money (and I don’t think they should have to be in the position to do so... but another discussion entirely), but to substitute that for a gift showing your appreciation for them feels very tacky IMO. FWIW I like the umbrella and the portable battery/charger for a device ideas the best. It is appreciation, because they are getting something for their classroom, of their choosing, without having to spend their own money. Less one size fits all and more you get to pick what you want. ::::shrug:::::

Not sure what your budget is, but maybe you could give each teacher a dollar amount, have them buy something for their classroom and then submit their receipt for reimbursement. Most teachers spend their personal $$$ on classroom items, so this would be a nice gift if they are wanting/needing something for their classroom.

I read a book about him once. Cannot remember the title. It was a good book, but It did mess with me.

Sometimes I forget to look at the fuel gauge. That's how I've run out of gas. Especially if I think I will fill up in the morning and then forget to look at the fuel gauge in the morning and take off. I try not to put it off if I know it is low.

For a long time I felt like a square peg that was trying to be hammered into a round hole. Now I am just me and am just fine with that. Take it or leave it. 🙂

Nice spin but “For Life” or “Pro life” are specific and means all life. Otherwise they should be clearer and change their slogan to “We are for life/pro life unless it involves guns, then not so much”. Or maybe change their slogan altogether to “pro birth” because once the woman is forced to have the child, we don’t care what happens to it.” While pro choice is ambiguous. I'm not getting into an abortion or gun debate with you, just trying to let you know that people that are pro-life are not pro-life so they can control women. They're pro-life because they believe in the right to life, even the life of a developing person. The existence of guns doesn't take away anyone's right to life, while abortion advocates argue to do just that. So really... equating the two is equating apples and cows. No. The existence of guns and inadequate laws around them takes away lives, not people's rights to life, their actual life. Something needs to change.

I understand wanting to keep in contact, but it's really not appropriate.

When people say “where were the adults,” let’s remember that these school leaders and parents must have been aware that their students planned a “USA” theme when they knew a predominantly black team would be at their school and would likely be sitting out the anthem. They knew. They allowed it. Some parents encouraged it, clearly. It was clearly a counter-protest. Actions have consequences. If that means they face scrutiny or have to opt out of a tournament, they need to consider whether or not it was worth it to them. USA theme, ok, but a Trump 2020 flag is not ok IMO. There should not be that kind of politicking at a school sanctioned event.

In her message she says she is married and her and creepy guy talked about her being married. I vote inappropriate. Also, anywhere I have worked I would have been fired for using confidential customer info for anything that was not work related. THIS. Dude should be fired.
