Ben's Graduation and Pura Vida Teacher Gifts

I was stressing over what to do for teachers this year as a thank you.

I'm always looking for something fun and not too expensive (since Ben always has a ton of teachers).

I was considering this dilemma one day very near the end of the school year and an epiphany struck!

I had just recently ordered a few Pura Vida bracelets for the first time and was loving them.

At about 6 dollars a pop they were right in my price range and I thought they would be the perfect "summery" gift!

My first order had arrived in a matter of just a few days so I knew they would come in time which was a concern since I was cutting it close :)

Each bracelet comes in its own cute, little bag and I added one of the several stickers that comes with each order into the packages I put together.

I love how they turned out and enjoyed giving them to the teachers this year!

I got them put together just in time to take to Ben's graduation...

They did a little story...Ben used his device for his parts, and then his teacher always does a fun slide show...these are some of my favorites of Ben...

She presents each student with a certificate and a gift...

We will miss Mrs. Kenzie so much!  She has been so great with Ben!

I'm super sad she's leaving us but wish her well in her next endeavors.

This is one of Ben's aides and she loves him so much.  She told me that when she has her first son she is going to name him Bennett...after him and her sister, Sennett, who also has special needs.

That was so sweet to hear!

Josh didn't have school that day so he was able to come and support as well...fun to have him there...

A ball is one of Ben's greatest motivators!  It certainly gets used a lot at school :)
