Best Teacher Ever Pin
The design
On the pin
A round royal blue pin with a gold-tone rim. A yellow star shines in the upper part, a red ribbon banner across the middle reads BEST TEACHER in white, and EVER sits below it in raised gold tone.
What it means
It is written in a student's voice, the kind of thing a child would write on a card, so it suits gifts from classes rather than awards from administrators. The star and banner give it a medal-like feel.
Colors and finish
Royal blue, red and yellow are bright primary colors that look fun in a classroom. Glitter in the star makes it extra cheerful.

More teacher appreciation pins
Can we make versions for coaches and aides?
Yes. Each role is a version of the same design, so a school can thank everyone.
Is the minimum too high for one class?
Our minimum is 50 pieces, so most classes join a school-wide order through the PTA.
When is Teacher Appreciation Week 2027?
May 3–7, 2027. Approve the proof by late March.
Can we include all school staff?
Yes. Many PTAs order one pin for every staff member, not only teachers.
How big is a 1-inch pin?
Slightly larger than a US quarter. It is the most common lapel size for service awards. Your proof shows the pin at actual size.
