I got this as a gift for my sister who is returning to teaching this year. The poem is beautiful and I'm sure she will be very happy with it. However, when the description said it was printed on heavy canvas, I was expecting it to be fabric. It is actually coated in some sort of protective surface (handy in a classroom I'm sure) that makes it look and feel like vinyl. It is attached to the wooden dowels by folding the ends over and gluing them - both of which had come lose during shipment. I tacked them down with some tiny stiches and hung it up to let the vinyl smell fade before Christmas. It IS a lovely banner and I'm sure she will enjoy it for many years.
further review from 'description not quite accurate'

After hanging it for several days in order to let the 'new shower cutain' smell fade - I found that it has started curling in from the sides. It now looks like a long skinny apple core with writing on the middle. The smell has FINALLY started to fade (Or maybe I'm just getting used to my bedroom smelling like a tire store). I am wishing I had gotten one the smaller framed versions instead as I'm not sure I will be giving this to my sister after all. Between having to sew it together when the glue/tape gave out and it fell off the wooden dowels, and now the fact that it won't hang flat against the wall.. As I said before, the poem is beautiful - but I don't know if she will be able to hang it without tacking all 4 corners with thumb tacks or something.
What a blessed way to allow students, parents, administrators, co-workers and yourself to remember an educator's daily professional mission! This is another personally perfect gift from a personally perfect company. Keep up the great work and God bless.
I bought two of these for this coming up Christmas gift giving event for my children's teachers. They arrived today... Personalizationmall.com never ceases to amaze me! Perfect quality, size, and scripture! Their teachers are going to be delighted to have these.
For the perfect teacher

I purchased this as part of a class gift for my daughter's Kindergarten teacher as I felt this poem perfectly encompassed all that she did for our children throughout the school year. All the other parents agreed with the statements and we all felt she was so deserving of such beautiful words.
I order this banner as a gift for my daugheter , she will be a first year teacher this fall. I wanted to buy her something that she can not only keep but when the road gets tough she can reflect on it. I am truely pleased with the quality of this banner it is beautiful, she is in love with it. I will be making future orders.
