Shop This Idea! Taylor Swift Teacher Appreciation Ideas
Hi, it's the PTO...and we're in our teacher appreciation era.
Teacher Appreciation Week begins May 4, 2025…are you ready for it?
You probably have a lot going on at the moment, so we rounded up some fun ideas and Taylor Swift themed printable Canva templates to help your group bring a Taylor Swift teacher appreciation celebration to life. It's highly likely that many of your teachers are Swifties...and a Taylor Swift theme set-up (like this one from Starkey Ranch K-8 PTO below) is so fun to pull together:
A few Taylor Swift teacher appreciation ideas we're loving...
- Wildest (or mildest) dreams taco bar (with hot and mild sauces)
- "Look what you made me brew" coffee and treats
- "A lot of staff appreciation going on at the moment"
- "In your wildest ice creams": set up an ice cream sundae bar for teachers or arrange a visit from the ice cream truck
- Taylor's fave snacks, like chicken fingers, diet Coke (she's a huge fan, apparently), pink lemonade fudge, and her must-have chai cookies
- Time magazine cover with the staff as "People of the Year" (check out this customizable one from Etsy)
- "Karma is the Guy on the Chiefs" football snacks, like chips and dip
- Friendship bracelets
- "Shake it off" smoothie bar
- #WaterTok hydration station, featuring the Teacher Haze drink (inspired by Taylor Swift's song, Lavender Haze) - get our printable sign and recipes
- A flower bouquet bar featuring Taylor's faves: orchids, hydrangeas, and roses
- Ask students to handwrite letters to Taylor Swift, inviting her to come to your school for Teacher Appreciation Week (yes, really)
- Pick a snack to feature for an "In our (fill in the blank) era" theme. Leona Libby Middle School PTO's "In our apple era" caramel apple bar was a huge hit with teachers! If your teachers like chocolate (likely), try an "In my chocolate era" theme. Use a variety of chocolate candies, including these red lipstick chocolate candies! You could also wrap full size chocolate bars in this "You make the whole school shimmer" candy bar wrapper Canva template.
- Hold a giveaway for teachers to win this "A lot going on at the moment" tumbler (what teacher couldn't use another emotional support water bottle?).
- Gift teachers disco ball earrings and invite them to dress up like Taylor Swift for the day
