Teacher Appreciation Week may fall on the first full week of May each year, but basically anyone will agree that teachers deserve love all year long. After all, teachers are true superheroes, juggling classrooms full of kiddos and shaping the minds of future generations!
When it comes to letting the educators in your life know how much you value their hard work, you truly can’t go wrong with a teacher appreciation eCard. Whether you’re sharing a silly or sincere note, sending a card is a sweet and heartfelt gesture certain to make their day.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through a few ways to make your teacher appreciation cards awesome. And while we won’t be quizzing you on this material, we highly suggest you jot down a few notes anyway because these tips are A+!
Express your thanks
Write something that lets them know just how grateful you are for all they do! Whether you’re a student writing directly to your own teacher or a parent writing on behalf of your little one, adding a few words expressing your thanks is a great way to communicate that their work has impacted you and/or your kiddos.
Examples:
- Thank you so much for all you do!
- From the bottom of my heart, thank you for an amazing year.
- I am so grateful for your hard work and commitment.
- Words cannot express my gratitude for you!
Reference their subject
A little nod to their discipline is always a good idea! There are plenty of puns for every academic subject, so don’t be afraid to sprinkle a clever little message into your note.
Examples:
- For math teachers: You = Awesome. It’s simple math!
- For science teachers: Your guidance has been elemental!
- For English teachers: Feeling grateful for you is as easy as ABC!
- For history teachers: You’ve had a historic impact!
Add some humor
One of the best signs of a successful card is its ability to bring a smile to someone’s face! In addition to expressing your thanks to your teacher, adding some humor can help brighten their day.
Examples:
- Not all superheroes wear capes, some teach!
- Thanks for proving that anything is possible—even staying on top of the world’s most chaotic class!
- Congrats on an amazing year of turning every “huh?” into an “aha!”
- If there was a competition for the world’s hardest job, teaching would be #1! Thanks for being such a champion!
Add a quote about teaching
Sometimes, the words you’re trying to find have already been said by someone else! Consider including a meaningful quote in your teacher appreciation card to emphasize your gratitude for your educators. Coupled with a personal note written by you, you’ll be on track to seriously make their day!
Examples:
- “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” - Albert Einstein
- "The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery." - Mark Van Doren
- "In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn." - Phil Collins
- “Education is the way to move mountains, to build bridges, to change the world.” - Oprah Winfrey
Share a fond memory
Of course, something personal is always a great choice. Remind them of a funny moment from the school year or a time when their hard work really impacted their students. There are so many wonderful moments to look back on and your recipient will love the opportunity to reminisce!
Send an eGift card
Being a teacher is one of the hardest jobs in the world, so why not bring a little ease into your teachers’ lives with an eGift card? Make them feel extra appreciated by including an eGift card with your teacher appreciation eCard. With top retailers like Target, Starbucks, Sephora and more, Evite’s selection of eGift cards is certain to have something for every teacher’s vibe.

What is a signup sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, signup sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a signup sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:
- Signup sheets for one day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers, parent-teacher conferences, meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a signup sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a signup sheet template?
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
- Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
- No need to create another login—you can use your existing Evite account.
- The option to add a wish list to help your volunteers out.
- Automatic reminders—we’ll remind everyone on your behalf.
- An easy-to-use experience with eye-catching guided templates.
- Clean, modern designs with no pop-up ads.
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
