A Teacher Gift with a Long Reach

Gift your child’s teacher a gift that continues to give this holiday season

As a former teacher, I never expected holiday gifts — truly. The holiday break always marked the end of the first half of the year, and an opportunity to breathe and looking forward towards new goals for my kids and myself in the second half of the school year. However, don’t get me wrong, I definitely would revel in the construction-paper cards or thoughtful gestures like homemade goodie or a gift card that I did receive!

Yet as research shows, many teachers spend, on average, almost $500 a year on classroom supplies out of their own pocket. So I always gave an extra fist pump for those gifts like a Dustbuster, ream of printer paper, or Clorox wipes (saviors even pre-pandemic) — something practical that would impact my classroom daily.

So in that vein, I wanted to share that Classroom Champions is offering their yearlong SEL Foundations Curriculum (usually $149) this holiday season for just $15, thanks to their generous donors. Yep, $15 for a gift that is a yearlong subscription featuring world-class athletes sharing their real-world experiences, which includes 8 units of social and emotional learning lesson plans featuring world-class athletes, videos, and family outreach materials. Teachers can use these resources with kids on a weekly basis for the rest of this school year and the beginning of next!

The gift that truly keeps on giving.

Please help spread the word this holiday season, as we know that everyone can benefit from some social and emotional support these days (do read EdSurge’s article, SEL Skills Are More Vital Than Ever).

Simply visit Classroom Champions to purchase the “Gift of a Champion,” and you will receive a designed PDF that you can gift to the teacher of your choice!

In full transparency, I do consult for Classroom Champions, but truly love their SEL programs, their team, and their rockstar community of teachers and athlete mentors!
