At the end of the day, we’d all be lost without our teachers. Showing teachers appreciation with fun puns is an easy way to let them know we care. They are essential in this great big world and no matter the year, it’s a difficult job that not everybody is cracked up for. I always tease that I will coordinate a Fall Festival for 700 kids and families, but do not stick me in a room with 30 of them and ask me to teach them something. I don’t have those skills and it’s why I will do anything for teachers–especially gift them with “punny” sayings. Teachers and Puns, DO-NUT know what we’d do without them!
