The Educators Orchard Ornament

The Educators Apple Ornament - a perfect way to show your appreciation for a teacher who has made a difference in your life.

Dating back to the 19th century, students began giving apples to their teachers as a gesture of gratitude and appreciation.

This tradition represents the nourishment of knowledge that teachers provide, much like an apple nurtures the body. The apple also symbolizes growth and the continuous pursuit of learning. It serves as a reminder of the impact teachers have on shaping young minds and futures. 

Beyond it’s literal representation, the apple embodies respect, recognition, and the teacher-student relationship.  While the practice of giving apples has evolved, the symbolism remains strong, honoring the dedication and guidance of teachers. 

In a world where education is so valued, the apple stands as a timeless emblem of appreciation for those who inspire, empower, and cultivate the minds of future generations. 

This is made out of wood and a great keepsake for any teacher.  The ornament comes with a story card inside a burlap bag. Choose between cut out heart or heart engraved with a name for an additional charge
