20. And lastly, for the truly best gift a teacher can receive: write a letter telling your child’s teacher what you most appreciated about him or her this year, and send a copy of the letter to the school principal. Teachers treasure personal letters (who doesn’t?), and by sending a copy to the principal, you’ll be adding a positive recommendation to her file that could be helpful when she is considered for advancement. The letter doesn’t have to be long – three or four sentences is plenty – and you can get ideas for what to say in this post. This completely free gift may be the best one your child’s teacher has ever received!
