Late Christmas Gift for Teacher or let it go

[Anonymous]

For the last day of school, my son had made a card for his teacher with a $25 gift card in it - and he didn't give it to her. I was just going through his backpack and there it was. He is in 4th grade. Would it be strange of me to bring in the card to her the first day back after the holiday break? I'm sort of embarrassed. It's a big class of 30 kids, so maybe she won't notice? Ugh. What would you do?

I think late is fine.

My kids have done that. I always send it in after break and write "Happy New Year!" on the envelope or card. Not a big deal.

Late is fine, after Christmas is fine, not giving one at all is fine. None of them are uncommon.

Agree. (Also a teacher.).

She will not think twice about it being late. She will greatly appreciate the gift and the card. Give it and don't feel embarrassed.

Late is totally fine.

Who would not want a gift, even if it's late? Definitely take it in, OP! It will be a pleasant surprise for the teacher on the first day back and will probably brighten her day.
