There are many lesser holidays throughout the year – times set aside to honor certain people for their contributions to our lives and to the world. But few recognize the unsung heroes in our communities as well as National Teachers Week and National Nurses Week, both celebrated in early May. These two groups of people may be very different, but they are similar in one very important aspect – their love, compassion, and professionalism often stay with us long after our time with them is done. When it comes to honoring nurses and teachers, you can’t go wrong at Nanz & Kraft Florists. Our collection of beautiful flowers and unique gifts is sure to provide you with the perfect way to thank the people in your life who had a huge impact – and may not even know it!

A Big Week: National Teachers Week is May 7-13, 2017 while National Nurses Week is May 6-12, 2017.  

Teachers may be actively in our lives for years, while nurses may only be involved with us for days or weeks. Teachers encourage students to learn more and realize potential, nurses offer solace and hope while executing expert care. Teachers represent normal life, while a nurse may be an unexpected visitor for a season of our lives. But they share many characteristics as well – they have the ability to use their job to influence and impact for the better and to touch our hearts with their compassion and care.

For all the differences in their job, nurses and teachers likely both love coffee! The whimsical arrangement above offers a reusable novelty coffee mug overflowing with vividly hued daisies and carnations. The bright flowers will bring cheer to any desk or nurses station, and remind them that they matter! Or perhaps you prefer the sunshine yellow of these daisies, guaranteed to shine happiness into any environment.

Whether teacher or nurse, they often do their jobs quietly and without accolade.

Trust the experts at Nanz & Kraft Florists to create the floral designs that will shower them with appreciation – after all, everyone loves to be told that they are doing a great job!
