Superhero Teacher Appreciation Luncheon

At the end of the school year the PTA at my kids school puts on a Teacher Appreciation Luncheon for our teachers. I am on the hospitality committee and this falls under our job description.

I was trying to think of a fun theme and remembered this fun party I had for Jackson a few years ago. With a few small tweaks to the fabulous clip art from Andersruff we had our theme! I took the idea from this Logo I had been seeing on Pinterest:

I started by sending out this invitation to all the teachers:

Just like a few years ago for my son's party, my mom was in town and I got her to work making more capes! This time she had to make 35! Is she a great mom or what? Seriously...she's amazing. She got to work in the Holtry Sweatshop.....er....dining room. She may not want to come back again for a while!

After the capes were sewn I went to work on my amazing silhouette! I have to say, I was pretty nervous about this cutting fabric. I was SO pleasantly surprised when it cut the first shield out perfectly!

 I do recommend using the Silhouette brand heat transfer fabric interfacing and not wonder under. I tried that and it did not work very well when I went to iron the shield on to the cape.

After all the decorations were made and food ordered it was time for the party!

 Each teacher received a cape as they arrived!

  Then they enjoyed a delicious lunch of salad's, bread, fruit and a few other goodies

 including these delicious Trifle Push Pops from my friend Nita's company Teaspoon of Love

 The teacher's also got a kick out of the pictures my friend Marcy made of them as superhero's. We thought they were hilarious!

 

 

It turned out to be a GREAT day and we hope all our wonderful teachers felt appreciated.
