Another Great and Easy Decoration Idea!  This Marquee Template allows you to edit for each teacher's name and post on their door so they feel important and appreciated.

3. Set Up a Popcorn Bar

Fill Glass Jars or buckets up with all different flavors of popcorn (cheesy, butter, caramel, etc) and have the teacher's and staff dive in!  Use these awesome Editable Hollywood Movie-Themed Food Labels & Signs to add to the fun and decor. 

4. Have Students Make Fan Mail For Teachers
