One of the great privileges we have is to bless the teachers at Philip Reilly.  Every Monday we go out of our way to leave treats for the teachers.

Please bring a treat or little gift for 50 Staff Members on Sunday at church and set up on our table. If you need to put stuff in the fridge, let me know or leave a little sign on the table that lets the staff know. You can also bring in stuff on a Monday morning if it works best for you.

If you like to decorate the table and go all out feel free to, bit you are not obligated to. The staff will leave your decor there until the next Sunday for you to pick up.

I provided some pictures of some ideas if you like to make things and craft. Also, if you go to Pinterest and type in teacher gifts and snacks plenty of ideas will come up. There are many free printable online too.
