NO NO NO

I am another teacher who treasures and cherishes kid notes. Love them. If I open it and DO see a gift card, I am still more touched by the note the kid writes. Most gift cards I regift to my kids' teachers so they don't go unused by any means but your child's words mean everything to me! [/quote]

I want to mention too that every school year I get a nice big keepsake box from Homegoods. All the cards my kids give me, cute notes, programs from plays or events they are in, newspaper articles that feature them, etc. go in that school year's box. A card will never be tossed aside or forgotten by a teacher. I think you guys forget, we love those kids and we know we only have them for a year. In HS, we might get lucky and get them once more if we teach two grade levels. Those area are proof of our time with your people.

A gift is always appreciated. I adore seeing a happy kid hand me a gift, even if it's a box of cookies. But if you think you have to put an item or gift card in there for us to appreciate it and be pleased, don't. A note from you and/or your child really does impact us. [/quote]
