Snack Gift for Teachers

Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I adore the teachers who work so hard to support our daughter’s development. We are lucky here in Seattle to get a few perks like looping in the younger grades (where the kids stay with the same teacher for two grades). It’s allowed us to really get to know and appreciate all of her teachers and support staff.
