MOPPETS Gift Ideas

It is that time again to show our teachers and care givers how much we appreciate all they do for us. To show our appreciation, we will be collecting gifts on May 12 (which is the day of our Spring brunch!) and delivering them to the teachers. It would be great if you could bring 10 of your item, however that may be a lot so even if you are able to bring 5 items we will try to spread the goodies around. The teachers in each class are:

• Nursery: Debbie Bragdon, Margie Eckert, Margaret Flood
• Toddlers: Jennifer Matthews, Dick Bonney
• Threes: Susan Burris, Jan and Bob Braun
• 3's and 4's: Kathy Benson and Nancy Starr
• Secretary: Pam Sadler

Below are some suggestions if you need them, however, please be as creative as you wish.

• Pot holders/Dish towels
• Lotion/Bottled hand soap/Antibacterial gel
• Gift certificate for coffee, etc.
• Coffee/Teas
• Candle
• Stationery/Writing pads/Pretty pens/Journals
• Soup/herb/dip mixes
• Anything homemade

Thank you in advance for helping say "thank you" to our Moppets!
