Teachers are one of our nation’s treasures. We hand our children to them to educate, and they give us back more than we could ever ask for. How can you thank them? Holidays are a great way to acknowledge their tireless efforts. Here are some inexpensive yet thoughtful gifts that will let your favorite teacher know that he/she is appreciated!
When my children were in school, I would have them write a note of thanks to their teachers. It seemed like such a small gesture, but it was so genuinely appreciated. How about taking that note and enclosing it with some personalized stationary or notepad?
