Teacher Appreciation Coupons

Something that we have done in our ward that the teachers really liked was a Teacher Appreciation Coupon. It was good for one Sunday off where they would attend Sunday School and Relief Society/ Priesthood. They would just have to call us and we would take care of the rest, whether that meant that the counselor who wasn't doing the conducting or the sharing time or just finding a substitute. The teachers loved it! (We had to specify it couldn't be for a time where you would be going out of town, it had to be to go to the other classes) We are a growing ward with new members all of the time and being in Primary you don't necessarily get to meet and interact with all of the other members and this gave them an opportunity to do that as well as to sit and learn rather than teach for one Sunday. It was also great because if we taught the lesson, we got a chance to be with the kids and see how they are in a classroom setting. It was a no-cost way of saying thank you to the teachers.
