5 Groups to Thank for Back-to-School
The back-to-school season in the United States is a bustling time for families across the country. As the summer draws to a close, parents and children prepare for the return to classrooms.
This transition often involves shopping for school supplies, adjusting schedules, and creating new routines. American families are estimated to spend a collective $41.5 billion on back-to-school essentials, highlighting the significant financial aspect of this annual event. And it’s expensive for everyone involved!
Teachers
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, there are approximately 3.2 million public school teachers in the United States. That’s a sizable group of people who deserve thanks for more than one teacher appreciation week per year! Fall is an incredibly busy time for educators, and money or time-saving gifts are extremely thoughtful.
If you’d like to make a good impression with teachers, a single apple isn’t enough. How about a whole basket of groceries? Teachers notoriously spend their own money on school supplies, so why not give them something they need? Grocery gift certificates come in all denominations and quantities, perfect for bulk purchases for an entire school, district, or individual stars.
Coaches
The millions of coaches across America are an integral part of many lives, providing guidance to kids of all ages. No matter the sport or activity, coaches deserve a hearty thank you for their time and commitment. Whether you oversee a district, school, or recreation league, fruit and vegetables gift certificates are perfect for gametime snacks that can feed a crowd without the coaches digging into their own pockets.
Bus Drivers
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that approximately 500,000 school bus drivers navigate the roads every day, ensuring that precious cargo arrives safely at its destination.
This responsibility is immense and challenging, deserving special recognition. Bus drivers, who skillfully manage both the roads and the students, certainly deserve an extra thank you for their dedication and patience. What can make a difference? Back-to-School Gifts! Or better yet, gThankYou Gift Certificates! Whether acknowledging a driver who consistently goes above and beyond or celebrating an entire district of committed chauffeurs, gThankYou gift certificates offer a practical and deeply appreciated way to show your gratitude.
Volunteers
Parents, grandparents, mentors, and other people who volunteer deserve great praise. During back-to-school and all year long, willingly give their time to the PTA, room parties, reading to kids, or other activities that strengthen the community and improve schools. Stock up on gift certificates for groceries or sweet treats for an extra thank you!
Parents
While it’s unrealistic to award every hardworking parent with an appreciation gift, busy parents are always concerned with the next meal. Gift certificates are a great way to provide back-to-school support to large or small populations of parents with a simple gift that it sure to make a positive impact. If you’re a parent or manage groups of parents – food gift certificates that can be used at any grocery store are wonderful to give and receive.
