Jacob started preschool a couple weeks ago and his main teacher went on maternity leave so he has a new teacher. I wanted to create a welcome to the class gift since I figured she is a substitute and probably doesn’t get many gifts around the Holidays and at other times throughout the year from students.
I headed to Murphy USA, the gas station and convenience store, to get some snacks and drinks to make a goodie bag for her (and also the assistants in the classroom). I know when I was a pre-k teacher I got hungry throughout the day so I thought this would be a great surprise for them.
I found a great variety of snacks, candy, and drinks at Murphy USA. Included in my goodie bag of treats were Vitamin Water ,Monster Java and Hershey’s Chocolate Bars. To find out more about my shopping trip and what went into the bag you can view my ThisMoment story.
I found a Hershey’s bag I had gotten as “swag” at a blogging conference and never used so I thought it would be perfect for this teacher welcome gift since I didn’t have a basket. Everything fit into it and the bag can be reused.
I look forward to giving this back to school bag of treats to the teachers on curriculum night!

That’s an awesome teacher gift!
What a nice thing to do. I know it will be appreciated by all the grownups in the class!
Very nice, I love it!
That is an awesome gift bag….I think it’s awesome that she’s a substitute too; she’ll probably really appreciate this!
