Teachers and gift giving...
| Sat, 11-29-2008 - 9:29pm |
Once your kids hit ms/jr. high and had multiple teachers did you give ALL their teachers gifts? Evan has 6 teachers. Even if I get each of them a $10 gift card, that's $60. Last year we gave all his teachers hand-made white chocolate lollipops with colored/flavored decorations but I'm sure teachers get a TON of that kind of stuff and it seems so unoriginal. Evan has been quite a challenge in school this year so I feel like we really should do something...
Ideas? Do we need to give gifts?

We no longer give gifts once the kids hit m/s or h/s. If he really wants to give something go the dollar store and buy some christmas tins. When you do your baking fill them with different delicious treats and send Evan to school with them. DD did this in 6th grade and some of the teachers were eating them at their desks! Even if they aren't going to eat it surely they will be invited somewhere they can bring it.
Let us know what you decide.

The best gift to give a teacher is a hand-written note from you and/or your child.
Other gifts that work well are home-baked goodies, GermX or something like it, school supplies (sticky notes, paper clips).
My ds said his teachers told the class not to purchase gifts for them so Im off the hook for this year.
This is our first year with multiple teachers as well, so instead of doing traditional "gifts", I'm having Droid write them each a handmade Christmas card illustrating why he's happy to have that individual teacher, and including a candle.

We make chex mix and put it in a mason jar.
Hi Amie - we've never done gifts in middle school, this is Kayleigh's 4th and final year.
