1. Have your child write a letter with a picture to the teacher, (Tip: make a photocopy for the principal’s file as well). It can be a simple Thank You & Merry Christmas, or their five
favorite memories from the semester.
2. Wrap up a box of blank Thank You cards. If a teacher has 30+ students who all send in gifts and do special things for them, that’s a lot of thank you responses (and extra expense) he or she might need to send!
3. Movie Night! Grab a couple fun DVDs, add a pack or two of microwavable popcorn, frozen Jr. Mints and 2 bottles of cream soda to create the perfect movie night! Top off with a gift certificate to the movies! (Label it, “Stay In or Go Out?”)
4. School supplies – Fill a reusable grocery bag with school supplies the teacher and classroom are low on.
5. Treasure Chest – Collect donations for the classroom treasure chest; small prizes, stickers and toys are always handy as special rewards and class party activity prizes.
