Teacher Appreciation this week. I took this very seriously and wrote nice, meaningful notes to Zach's teachers. Made sure to make a generous contribution to the luncheon fund. Made craft flowers out of felt and painted their names on them. And brought gift baskets in with their favorite snacks.
I take this seriously because I know what it is like to be a teacher and not feel appreciated. I also know what its like to be a teacher and get a lot of junk that you can tell has been an after thought of the giver. I wanted to make sure that Zach's teachers felt like they make a difference in not only Zach's life but mine as well AND I wanted to give them something that they would like. I felt like this was one of the best uses of my time and energy.
On the notes to them I included the German proverb:
"Whoever takes a child by the hand takes the mother by the heart."
I believe that and those people take good care of my heart.
