Personalized Custom Third Grade Teacher Shirt with Photo

Your favorite third grade teacher, at eight years old. This personalized third grade teacher shirt sets her own childhood photo between FOREVER and IN THIRD GRADE in antique gold, with her name in white script across the picture.

As a gift for teacher from students, it tends to beat the fourth mug on her desk.

Upload her third grade photo

You send

One childhood photo

Ideally from around third grade, when she was learning the same times tables she teaches now.

You type

Her teacher name

Exactly as the class says it, title included, like Ms. Carter.

Gift ideas, third grade edition

Usually a room parent is collecting from the class, or one family wants an end-of-year thank-you for a teacher their kid adored. She teaches multiplication facts and chapter books, and her desk already holds more mugs than she can use.

The whole class, for Teacher Appreciation

Chipping in together covers it, and every kid gets to see what their teacher looked like at their age.

One family, at the end of the year

If your kid had a great year, wrap it with a card from them so she knows exactly who it came from.

Her grade-level team

Ordering four lets the third grade team match, since each teacher sends her own childhood picture.

A coworker marking her tenth year

Ten years in the same classroom deserves a laugh, and her teaching partner can usually find the old photo.

Her, for the first day back

She can wear it under a cardigan on day one, so a new class learns she was eight once too.

Start her third grade tee

What’s in the picture?

The sample photo shows a girl with two braids and a gap-toothed smile, arms wrapped around a stack of library books, a globe and a full bookshelf behind her. Ms. Carter runs across the lower corner.

If you can find her real third grade picture, use it. The eight-year-old version of your teacher is the best part of this custom vintage photo design, and we convert it to black and white so it fits the old-school look. Head-and-shoulders or waist-up framing crops cleanest.

Keeping it a surprise? A room parent can usually get a photo from her teaching partner or her family without tipping her off.

How the ordering works

Choose tee, long sleeve, crewneck or hoodie and a size.
Pick a shirt color.
Upload the childhood photo. The girl with library books is a sample, and your photo takes her spot.
Type her name for the script line. Finished example: Ms. Carter.

Why her eight-year-old self beats another mug on her desk

Her desk is already crowded with teacher mugs from past classes
Group gifts from the class often end up as a gift card in an envelope
Third grade teachers spend all year on times tables and rarely get a laugh back

The best teacher gifts remind her why she picked this grade. Her own eight-year-old photo, gap-toothed and toned black and white, sits between FOREVER and IN THIRD GRADE in antique gold with her name in white script across the picture.

Third grade teacher shirt FAQ

Can parents order several for different teachers?

Yes. Add each shirt to the cart separately with its own photo and name.

Is there a version for other grades?

This design is third grade only. Other grades have their own Forever listings.

Could you print a famous children’s author next to her?

No. Authors, celebrities, rappers and other public figures aren’t printed, and neither are logos, brand names, school seals or characters from books and shows. Her photo needs to come from you, her family or someone who said yes. Third grade orders with that content are canceled and refunded in full.
