Sure, you love them. They’re your children! But spending all summer with your kids has given you new appreciation for the tremendous effort required of teachers, staff, and administrators in order to make the school year run smoothly.

Why wait until the holidays to express your appreciation? Ordering back to school flowers is a perfect gesture of support that will make hard-working educators feel special.

Who Should Get Them?

You don’t just interact with the teachers your child has each year. Over time, you get to know all the people who work together to make a school function.

• A member of the custodial staff let you in the office to drop off some last minute paperwork.
• You’ve received important information from the administrative assistants.
• The school counselor helped out when your daughter was going through a “mean girl” phase.
• The librarian was there to look after your son that day your car died on the ride to pick him up from an after school event.

As the school year gets underway, you might want to someone who deserves some special attention but may have been overlooked. Ordering a Bright and Cheery display for the lunch lady who always has a smile for your kids will really make her day.

Or maybe it’s time to thank the principal for all she does to make your school one of the best in the district. The graceful Zen Art arrangement makes a perfect relaxation statement for this busy administrator, whose private office is a sanctuary from the chaos occurring outside.

What Sort of Back to School Arrangement is Appropriate?

Some flowers, like roses, are associated with intimacy and passion. Arrangements that are skewed too heavily toward these blossoms or that feature them exclusively are not the best choice.

Instead, you should opt for bright and colorful displays that combine different colors and flower shapes, such as Perfect Day, which adds a touch of whimsy with a mixture of sunflowers and gerbera daisies.

An arrangement that will delight the entire school if ordered for the administrative assistants and displayed in the front office is the unique Betta Fish with Green Plant. Children can watch the fish swimming in the vase, while grownups appreciate the graceful peace lily that rises above it.

Teachers, staff, and administrators work hard to give your children the best education possible. Back to school is the perfect time to let them know that you are grateful for their efforts.
