Can I just say how much I appreciate my school's parents? Even though there have been many years where they were not able to help directly in the classroom, I have always felt supported and valued in my school. Friday was no exception! This year, I asked that parents donate to DonorsChoose.org rather than buy a gift for me. I am very blessed and don't need much in the way of material things :) However, my classroom is always in need of items to enhance my students' learning. So many parents gave and I can't wait to see my kiddos' faces when the boxes arrive after the holidays.
However, there are always some parents who force me to accept a gift that is just for me (tossing all thoughts of altruism out the window!). I got a few precious and meaningful items from my sweeties who just insisted on spoiling me. Here is one of my favorites, which I fully intend to steal the idea and give to my sons' teachers at the end of the year!

In case I lose track of time and get to busy....
Have a very Merry Christmas!
Don't you just love Donor's Choose!!! What a great idea to have parents contribute to that for something needed for the classroom. Love the chocolates though. Very cute idea!
