What can you do to show your appreciation?

Handwritten Notes: A sincere letter from a student (and/or parent) about how the teacher has made a difference can mean the world.

Student Artwork: Drawings, poems, or handmade crafts are keepsakes many teachers treasure for years.

Video Message: Record a short video of your child saying thank you or sharing their favorite memory of the teacher.

Gift Cards: Even a $5–$10 gift card to their favorite coffee shop, bookstore, or local spot is super appreciated.

Teacher Favorites: Send in a few of the teacher’s favorite snacks, drinks, or supplies

Flowers or a Plant: A single flower or small plant with a note that says “Thanks for helping me grow” is classic and sweet.

Breakfast or Coffee Drop-Off: Deliver a morning coffee or breakfast treat — just check in advance to make sure it works for their schedule.

Classroom Help Coupon: Offer to volunteer, donate supplies, or help prep classroom materials (especially if they’re short on time or support).
