Some teachers get apples for Teacher Appreciation Week, others get a push to start end-of-life planning.
Teachers Appreciation Week is a national holiday that occurs during the first week of May, and some local organizations help facilitate gift bags to give to educators.
One teacher took to TikTok to share the shocking contents from a goodie bag received by the local church — which included a cremation coupon.
“I’m a public school teacher, I make $43,000 a year before taxes, and this is everything I got in my Teacher Appreciation Week gift bag,” TikTok user @nalgenefa shared in a video with 4.9 million views.
The gift bag included a plastic water bottle from the church that supplied the gift bags, a stress ball, a llittle notebook, a tube of chapstick, a keychain with a matching lanyard, a NutriGrain bar, two pens, spray hand sanitizer, a cherry candy, a lollipop, as well as an “invitation to worship at with the church that put together the gift bags.”
Lastly, Erin’s “personal favorite” part of the gift bag: “Weaver and Peaks Memorial Funeral Care hand sanitizer and a business card advertising 10% off cremation services.”
“Happy teacher appreciation week to me.”
People in the comments were just as shocked as Erin was.
“THE CREMATION COUPON?? Oh my god,” one person said.
“Dystopian but I like the gesture,” another quipped.
“At my last school they raffled off a will. Like a lawyer would write your will,” someone shared a similar gift.
“The cremation discount card has me WEAK😭,” one wrote.
