Have you guessed, we went for a nautical theme this year. Everything from the food to the decor to the daily gifts revolved around the S.S. HFE. Not only do we get an entire week to spoil the teachers and staff, but, we also get our very own classroom to do it in.
Imagine the nostalgia doing a bulletin board brings back for me.
We fed the teachers breakfast, lunch and dessert every day. If you have ever taught, you know just how incredible that is. It is o-fish-ally the greatest gift.
Some of the meals are just too fun not to share. Like S.O.S Save Our Salad...
A Sink Or Float Cereal Bar...
Fish & Chips...
And one of my favorite dessert days was....Float Your Banana Boat, complete with ice cream, bananas, toppings and of course, boat shaped bowls.
The pictures I have hardly do the week justice. Our crew was so busy treating the staff that it was near impossible to get the camera out, much less use it.
As I mentioned we gifted the teachers each day of the week as well. A few of those included monogrammed cups with notes from students inside {messages in a bottle}, a roll of lifesavers {you are a lifesaver}, boat totes {you "tote"-ally float our boat} and a sand pails filled with all their faves.
We literally swabbed the deck from 6:45 am to 3:30 pm everyday and I have to be honest, every minute was totally worth it. You know I have a soft spot in my heart for teachers. The staff's over indulging gratitude, the smiles because they didn't have to pack a lunch for a whole week, and working with an amazing team pretty much sent me OVERBOARD.
Not too mention who doesn't love spending a week theme-ing it up?
Although our crew is feeling quite shipwrecked with exhaustion after a very long week, we have agreed to sail this ship one more year! Our wheels are already turning...
Love you Co-Captains...can't imagine a better dream "boat" team. 😍 I'm off to take a much needed snooze....this ship is docked for the night.
