Tip #24: Tidy Up the Teacher's Lounge

Parents, you can show your appreciation by sprucing up your school’s teacher's lounge. Many teachers spend hours creating clean and positive classrooms for their students. Why not return the favor? Wipe down the furniture, bring a bowl of bite-sized candy, and put some nice hand lotion next to the sink. Little touches can go a long way to make their space just a little more enjoyable. (You may want to check in with school admins to schedule your visit.)
