A Year of Thanks: Celebrate Staff all Year Long
This guide helps you move beyond Teacher Appreciation Week with simple, joyful ways to recognize every team in your building—one month at a time. Create a culture of connection and celebration that lasts all year.

How it Works
Kick off the celebration at the beginning of each month during a staff meeting, or surprise teams by decorating the teacher lounge or hallway outside their classrooms. Keep the celebration visible and engaging throughout the month!
Educator Collaboration
This resource was built in collaboration with dedicated educators and school leaders who shared their experience, ideas, and insights at every step. We’re grateful for their partnership in creating tools that truly make a difference in schools.
