I drew a big heart and printed the teacher's name and then the students all added their thumb print and name. The teachers loved it. Did it for all the teachers in the school. Was a hit. Another idea we used was finding a parent who was good at drawing and that parent drew a picture of the teacher (hard to explain how it was drawn except it looked like the teacher's face) with a permanent pen and her name under it. The teachers also liked those bags, too.

I say stick with an apple, only make it a green (bright green or lime green print fabric) apple, use some of the cute fabrics (retro or modern style) with black and white stem and leaves and make the apple big enough to fit dead center of the bag front.

I am a teacher and I would love to have one of your bags. Apples are never out of style for teachers. Some of the other ideas that you might also include are sayings for education that could be put on with fabric paint, or buy material with educational pictures ( children, pencils etc. and use them, as well)
The size of the bag is perfect for toting papers home to grade each night (which have to done before I start to quilt!)
Enjoy!
