End of Year Gifts!

May 31, 2014 by Amber Masters

Hey, Hey!
Oh goodness, the past few weeks have been crazy! Between all of the assessments, assemblies, and special events, I feel like I barely had time to teach during the month of May. I had been thinking and thinking about what I wanted to make for the kids’ end of the year gifts. I always struggle with this because I have 50 students. I would love to buy them all books but it’s just not feasible! I decided to make these cute little bags with a bottle of water, a kool-aid packet, a crazy straw and water balloons. I made these cute little tags to add the finishing touch. Note to self….never use full bottles of water again. OH my word! I had to take like 5 trips from my car to my classroom! Ridiculous, I know! Any who, the kinders loved them, which made it all worth it and I didn’t break the bank! I say that’s a win, win!

AND now for the adults! Do you love E.O.S products?! I sure do! So, I thought I would use their products this year for my parent volunteer gifts. I spent way too much time racking my brain to figure out a cute saying. It was tough, but I finally came up with:
Every 
One
Says…..
You’re a great helper! Thanks for everything this year!

Did you see what I did there? Yep, yep,  it say E, O, S down the left hand side.   🙂
 
  I bought some lip balm and hand lotion for each volunteer, and I made these cute little tags to add on to the bag. I used my cricut for the cutesy shaped pattern. I stocked up on some darling cardstock at Joann’s when it was half off :)All in all, I would say this years gifts were a hit! I hope you were able to find something you can use! Have a fabulous weekend!

I am humbled and grateful to have had the opportun I am humbled and grateful to have had the opportunity to visit St. Jude Children’s Hospital campus this week for the second time. Each experience has brought a range of emotions, and a desire to do more. 

Noticing families out and about on campus, and knowing they’re going through what no family should ever have to go through, is nothing short of gut wrenching. Yet, you also see strength, bravery, and perseverance, as children and families continue forward in their journeys. 

There’s also an overwhelming sense of community, family, and hope. Hearing from former patients and their families, ignites a fire in you to spread awareness, and join the fight in ending childhood cancer. St. Jude promises not to stop until no child dies from cancer. 

Each staff member I’ve encountered at St. Jude is invested in the mission, and is an incredible human being. I’m grateful for their passion to serve others, their wealth of knowledge, and their willingness to share the amazing work that’s being done at St. Jude. 

Together, we will make a difference. ❤️ If you’d like to support St. Jude, but aren’t sure where to start or how to get involved, send me a DM and I can share some ideas!
