I recently retired from teaching for 30 years. Thank you for acknowledging the value of educators. We don’t always hear such kind words. Thank you!

I made a thank you card for my daughter's teacher at the end of the middle school year. She said it was a "first" for her. And, this teacher was extremely popular.

@mrsfriedmike educators are amazing people. The really great ones are so underappreciated. It takes a special soul to teach young minds. Way back in the early 2000's, I wished I had a way to reach my previous teachers. Sad thing is, the ones who were in their 50's or 60's then are quite likely passed. There is a special place in my heart for all teachers. So, even though I don't personally know you nor did I learn from you, I want to thank you for educating young minds for 30 beautiful years. 💐❤️❤️

Yes to teacher gifts! I get told I’m “extra” all the time for doing them, but it is legit the LEAST we can do. And it could be as simple as a snack or treat to enjoy. Beginning of the year, holidays, birthdays and teacher appreciation week/end of the year are all great times to say “Thank you!” Teachers wear so many hats for our kids, and they are under so much more stress now than ever before. So, yes, bless the teachers!

In Jr/ High School, we had 2 lockers when I was in school. My gym locker had a bunch of extra care package stuff that if one of the other girls needed a pad or something when we were in sports or just gym class, they knew to ask me. Usually, body spray and pads I shared.

You are a riot! I have one child still in school. Her nearest sibling graduated high school in 2021. She is starting grade 8 (!) this year! I put a pile of leftover (brand-new) extra school supplies out for her to check up against her list. Then forward to her dad and I , her list of what is still needed to begin her 8th year. It is not as much fun, as it was when there were 3 kids going back to school together.

One suggestion I have learned from years of doing it, about the cash....give them ones and maybe a five instead of the 10. Most of the time what they want is a dollar or 2 and it's much easier and faster than trying to get change. Also, some vending machines get to where they will only take cash if you have the exact amount. But great idea and they will be very happy at some point to have all of this!
