Here's what I wrote on a small thank you card posted at my doorway:
Dear Students and Families,
Thank you so much for the lovely appreciations this week. I've received flowers, home-baked goodies, even google slide shows lovingly created by students. The gift basket of wonderful delicacies and opportunities is greatly appreciated.
I love my job, I love my students. Thank you for your kindnesses.
Love to all,
Valerie McKenzie
