Last year at school gifts...

[bestmama]

Hi! New to Crochetville and I am really hoping for some help. Been an active PTA member at our elementary school for almost 10 years and this coming school year will be my youngest's last.:angry I am looking for a filet crochet pattern that I can make for hopefully all staff members. Thought of a wall hanging with something like "Mrs. Smith's Room", so it can be used year after year, on their classroom door. Any suggested patterns or alternative ideas? Thank you.

How about something with an apple on it? Or something with the school's colors or logo?

SDmom..Thank you for the suggestions! We have a slogan "Tomorrow's leaders go to school here" , but I feel that is a little too long to use. What do you think?

I would stick with something short and sweet. Like the Mrs. Smiths Room thing you mentioned before. or even #1 Teacher
