It has been a beautiful summer on the North Shore. However, from Danvers to Beverly and all the surrounding areas, the season is drawing to a close, and the new school year is fast approaching. If you think vacation went fast from the kid’s perspective, imagine the plight of the teacher. This dedicated professional has already been busily preparing for back-to-school – writing lesson plans and decorating the classroom. Similarly, school administrators and office staff have been working all summer to make sure your student returns to a great learning environment.  Considering all their efforts, we’d like to suggest that your first back-to-school gift be sent in advance of opening day. Imagine their delight when a fruit or gourmet basket arrives to provide snacks as they prepare for your child.

This contemporary floral design is a striking way to tell your child’s teacher that you appreciate their efforts thus far, and look forward to a great year. Whether the teacher decides to keep in the classroom or take home to enjoy, these beautiful orchids are sure to get the year off on the right foot. Don’t forget the nice receptionist at the front desk, or the school nurse who is always so patient. They would all love such a thoughtful gift to recognize their influence on your child.

Green plants are a fantastic gift for a classroom, and can be incorporated into lesson plans on a variety of levels. Whether used to learn about earth science or photosynthesis; or to encourage fact-finding about exotic plants or succulents, this classroom plant will be popular with the kids and a living part of their classroom experience. Who says back-to-school teacher gifts have to be kitschy? We prefer educational.
