[quote=Anonymous]I've never done much for the teachers at holiday time. At least not since our first year in daycare, when I made special, elaborate, expensive gifts. Then, life kind of hit me and I stopped trying to be that awesome parent. And our first year in elementary school, the holidays coincided with a blizzard and school was cancelled for the whole week before... etc.

Anyway, my son has a truly wonderful teacher this year, who just this past few days did something so incredibly kind for him that I'd really like to show some appreciation. My kid is not a teacher's dream by any stretch of the imagination - bright enough but fidgety and behind in math and intense in his interests - and he's not super popular this year among his classmates. Still, this teacher has answered our emails in the middle of the night and found us tutors, and just last week rallied her class to do something deeply thoughtful for my son in a difficult time.

So, please give me your best ideas for how to show a teacher how much they are appreciated. I don't know much about her other than she is young and smart and tech savvy. I'd have made this same request irrespective of Sandy Hook, but it's hard not to feel more emotional about a dedicated, caring teacher right now.

And bonus points if you can suggest something nice to do for the administrative staff too, since they have also been wonderful. Is food a good thing or a bad thing? Flowers? What else can I do for a group of staff whom I don't really know?[/quote]
