School's Out: 10 Gifts for Grads, Treats for Teachers
It's time to show our teachers how grateful we are for their guidance—and for putting up with our kids. It's also time to tell our graduates how proud of them we are. Whether they need relaxation or inspiration for what comes next, we hope you'll find something special for each student or instructor on your gift list.
Library Shop Gifts for Grads and Teachers
1. Patience or Fortitude?
Which does a teacher need more: Patience or Fortitude? Probably both. If your kid is a handful, most likely Patience. These lion statues (named Patience and Fortitude, if you didn't know) are reminders of the qualities to which we aspire.
2. Sock it to them
Just in case they forget, remind teachers that their vocation is a work of heart.
