cool thread!
hi debbie!
as a former 6th grade teacher,
christmas was a pretty big gift time and valentine's day.
at the end of the year, im remembering a number of very VERY thoughtful notes from either the mom/dad or the student.
these REALLY hit home.
i agree, a fun gift to recieve is always a gift card!

i also recieved a neat wax/seal set which i still love today(...YEARS later)
i have always loved the candles and plants families have sent!
OH, and one family was famous for the 'muddy buddies' and that was a GREAT gift...yummm!
have a great end of the year everyone.
cris...seeing herself reentering the teaching profession soon, and seeing the gifts as a nice little perk...

something i forgot all about!
