We all want to celebrate the teacher who guides, encourages, motivates, shepherds, and influences our favorite students. There's no scarcity of occasions -- end of school, the holidays, Teacher Appreciation Week, welcome back, get well soon -- but some of us could sure use a little inspiration. Not to worry: These ideas, from folks like you, worked so well they were shared on our message boards. There's bound to be something here that your own teacher -- and student -- will take great pleasure in receiving and experience deep pride in creating.
