I forgot to write down my cliche meanings yesterday, but I’m making up for it with a new project. Because #16? Check, check and check:
My friends at Jack Cards contacted me over the holidays to ask if I wanted to participate in a 30 Day Gratitude project. And you know what? It’s always a good time for some gratitude, so I thought this would be the perfect time to finally send notes to all of my former teachers.
I narrowed down the list to my top 20 favorite teachers that taught me about life, love and how to perfect the cursive “s” (thank you, Mrs. Burchett!). Then? I sent over the contact information to Jack Cards and received a package in the mail a few days later:
Twenty pre-addressed, pre-stamped cards ready for a quick note and a drop in the mail. Totally easy, right? I’m amazed.
Anyway, for the next four weeks, I’ll be sending a note each weekday to a favorite teacher. Care to join me?
Good.
As a teacher, I want to say that this is so sweet! I’ve received thank you notes or emails from some of my former students (I’ve only been teaching 6 years) and it always makes my day. Thanks for doing this!
that is awesome. i have a few thank you notes to write (from our wedding last july – eek). do you think it is better to write them super late, even though its way awkward?
definitely! a thank you note is always in order, no matter how late! i just sent one last week to my cab driver in nyc (from last august! ha!)
e.
that’s such a lovely idea. i sent mine right after graduation…but i want to again in a few years…i feel like teachers are underappreciated, yeah?
yes! my parents were both teachers and i know firsthand how much thank you notes make their day!
What a great idea! I know that my former teachers have inspired me to be a teacher now so I think they would appreciate hearing that. :) I love the gratitude for 30 days idea!
This is super awesome. I wish my favorite teachers were still around. :-( One professor from college is, and I did send him a letter once. Pre email days! :-)
I love this idea! So thoughtful!
I have always wanted to do this! Great inspiration! You go!
thanks friends!
As a college student beginning student teaching Tuesday, this post makes me sooooo happy!!!
oh i’m so happy to hear that! good luck with your first day!
