Teacher THANK YOU gifts

Of course I want to give Drew's teachers something special for holidays and end-of-year presents. Typically the gift is a gift card or present for the home along with a Drew-made picture. Well, we went a bit further this year. Drew painted frames for his teachers (and I inserted pictures of him with his teacher)...

and he painted shells he found on the beach...

He drew pictures on his "cards" and wrote the words all by himself!


I also included the typical "personalized gift" from me and a gift card to a nice restaurant, but what I'm sure really warmed their heart were the great presents my son made! He grew so much over the year and they were partly responsible for that growth. To see how he draws, writes, and thinks now is awesome. I'm sure they were as excited -and proud- of these gifts as I was. AND my son is learning the valuable lesson of showing appreciation for his teachers.
