Armed with this assignment, only one question remains: how will you show appreciation to a teacher this week?
Years ago, I was tidying up my classroom on the last day of school when one of my fifth-graders strode over carrying a folded piece of fabric. She smiled expectantly as I unwrapped the hand-dyed pink and purple cloth to reveal a custom-decorated t-shirt.
Twenty-one years later, that shirt still lives in my dresser drawer, a reminder of the many students I’ve been honored to serve during my career in education. It is also a reminder that there are a multitude of unique ways we can show thanks for others, especially during Teacher Appreciation Week . From schools and camps to businesses and places of worship, teachers are all around us.
Words of thanks from parents and guardians mean a great deal, as well. Telling school staff how they have positively impacted your child’s life will fill their cup more than you can know. And of course, giving gift cards from places like Bookmans, local coffee shops, or the website Teachers Pay Teachers is also a fun and easy way for families to show gratitude.
With that in mind, and in true teacher fashion, here’s a little homework: Express appreciation to a teacher this week. For some, that might simply mean texting a mentor with whom you’ve kept in touch. Others may have to conduct online sleuthing to track down a former instructor and share words of thanks. If an important educator in your life has passed away, pay homage to them with your actions.
