Family Friday: Thank you, Teacher!



Thank you, Teacher!
          I am so thankful for my children’s teachers!  The teachers at our school are Godly adults who care about our children and take time to invest in their lives.  My children can look to these teachers as examples to follow in work ethic and Godly principles.  We are definitely blessed with a terrific Christian school.
          Often we parents are thankful for our children’s teachers but may not express it because we think it may sound cliché.  Teachers definitely appreciate positive feedback from the parents!  I know, because I am a teacher as well as a parent.  Notes or even texts can mean so much to a teacher who is putting much time and effort into molding young minds.  Receiving gifts is always nice, but hearing of a parent’s appreciation is so encouraging! 
          If you really enjoy giving gifts, then by all means be a blessing.  However, gifts do not have to be expensive.  Home baked goodies go a long way and many people enjoy receiving them J.  Dollar stores often carry items a teacher might enjoy or use in their class. Gift cards are always an option if you are not sure what to give. 
          Whatever way you decide to thank your children’s teachers at the end of the year, put some thought into it.  Without the teachers, our children would not be able to excel in life or even get a good start.  I am so thankful for the solid foundation my children received in school.  Praise God for the teachers!
