Thank you, CrewChief. You had me rotflol. I read your comment to my hubby and he was lol too.
Now that I think about it, I may have to do something a little special for my kids' teachers too besides b-days, Christmas, and end of the year.
Although, I would like to add one important message to all you classroom/homeroom volunteers...You being there to support the teacher in all the ways that you do is really the BEST gift a teacher can get.
Here's a story about a gift from my classroom moms that was worth way more than any gift money could buy: My father was diagnosed with cancer in August and passed away April 2 of this year. His funeral was held the day before our grade level spring play. Because I am the one that pushed having a spring play, I am the one that was kind of left in charge of putting most of it together (stage decorations, notes sent home, pamphlet, popcorn, soda, etc... do you notice a trend in my life?
). Anyway, I took the week off of school, but I went in every morning to make sure my kids could practice their play on stage (I have contol issues and didn't think a sub could handle it - or do it my way). I was beginning to stress out about the backdrop and was talking to another teacher when she informed me that my two moms that come in all the time had gotten together, and even roped in a third mom, and had finished all the backdrops and my kids' costumes. They had also stayed after I left each morning and had the kids practice their little dance number in the classroom. Let me tell you how absolutely surprised, relieved, and thankful I felt. This was the best gift I could have ever gotten.
So to all you moms & dads out there that do all you do for the teachers and kids - YOU are the true heroes and are very much appreciated. [img]smile.gif[/img]
