Thanking teachers
The lovely notes, gifts, luncheons, massages, plants, flowers, etc., are all delightful. But really, the very best way to let teachers know you appreciate the work we do is to give us the support we need to do our job: Make sure your child is at school on time every day, properly fed, with plenty of sleep, and with adequate time to do their homework. Keep us in the loop if your child is facing physical, emotional, or academic challenges. Let your child know, by word and deed, that you value our work--their education.

How to show teachers you appreciate them: Just put a big ol' Hershey Bar Cake in the Teachers' Lounge right beside a card that says THANKS! Napkins and forks optional!
