Is this a good teacher gift idea?

DD1 started at a new preschool in October after a horrible experience at another school. The teachers and staff have all been wonderful - extremely welcoming, flexible, and DD1 is thriving. She goes 2 half days per week, and a third full day, and then to the after school program. So she has interaction with every teacher in the school.

I was thinking of having Panera brought in for lunch for the teachers as a holiday/thank you gift. It would be for 10-12 people total, and would probably work out about the same as a small gift card for those teachers that she sees regularly. I was planning to call the school and let them know in advance, so the teachers wouldn't bring their lunches that day.

Is this a good idea? Or no?

I think it's an awesome idea!

Thanks. I wasn't sure if they'd appreciate it, or just be annoyed that there was more food that they hadn't planned on having just floating around their office...

I have done this for our teachers in the past and they LOVED it! We did Jimmy Johns and I had them place the order for what they wanted and then I called in to pay for it.
