I hope you’ll take a moment to explore all my ideas for thanking teachers. I have deep gratitude for the teachers who’ve poured love and effort into shaping my children’s lives—especially those who spent extra time and care helping with an IEP (Individualized Education Program) for one of our sons. These teachers aren’t clocking out at 3 p.m.—they’re giving from their hearts, and they truly deserve to feel appreciated. Let’s make sure they do.
