[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think sending an extra gift card is looking like you're trying to gain favor, too. [/b]

Was there a school book fair?  Teachers often make Scholastic wish lists that you could donate off of.  Other than that, just pick up copies of some of your DCs favorite books and send them in.  My son requested this frequently as he liked to share his favorites with classmates.[/quote]

I agree - I just want to do something nice.  I am always hearing that the school systems don't/can't provide adequate teacher supplies and I've seen it firsthand with my husband who is a school librarian - each month we pick out 2 new books to donate to his library from Amazon and I would happily do something similar for my kid's class or library.   It's not like we even have that money but I really like to support educators and I know that my DH loves being able to get some extra books outside the school purchasing system (which is once a year if he's lucky) throughout the school year in response to student or teacher requests or new publications.

Unfortunately I missed that they had bags of wishlist books for each teacher at the book fair (the place was a madhouse the evening I went and they don't put lists online.

Again, I would love it if there was a mechanism to it anonymously.   I really don't want to bring attention to myself or my son in this way.[/quote]
