just after my high school graduation this past year, I went back to my elementary, middle and high school and gave thank you notes with homemade cookies to all my favorite teachers. they were all very touched and they all remembered me! it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I'm so glad I did it! :)

My dad taught engineering for a short while between careers. One of his students sent him a lovely letter of thanks filled with personal anecdotes. I think it pleased him more than any formal award he received in his entire life.

Maybe a boss then or a professor. I'm going to school to be an athletic trainer so i see a lot of athlete coach relations. I've had a few good ones as well. Either way maybe you can be the one to inspire, and get a thank you note!!

As a substitute teacher, I receive more than my share of 'thank you's. I have a file folder full of them. ..I still don't know why anyone would feel compelled to write a formal thank you to a sub, even the most amazing one on earth. ;-)

Yup. A business law class in college. I just finished taking the final and left a 'c' note in it with a little handwritten note saying a couple of sincere things. I got an A in the class.

Yes! elementary school principal who announced to my entire class how much it meant to him (while keeping the author nameless, but said "you know who you are") also to a doc that stitched my face up so great you couldn't tell, and a family doc who treated me 4 free During a short time w/ no ins.

Have you ever seriously considered the magnitude of the gift of being able to read? There are so many dedicated teachers who have taught young people to read and have built a nation's foundation of success. A challenge: Try to go six hours without reading anything. What would the quality of your

I really struggled with the structure of school. Teachers spent too much time dealing with the majority and the troublemakers to have much time for me. I needed an unstructured environment to really thrive and public school was not the place to find it. I thrived in the workplace, fewer rules.

I wrote a thank you letter to my librarian at my middle school who was one of the nicest librarians i have ever met. She told me later on, with a big smile on her face, that no one has ever done that before for her. Hearing that turned my day around.

I am long out of school but i wish i had written to my third grade teacher miss zimmer in ps 101. She never failed to encourage me and even once told me; a shy big boned girl with glasses, that i was pretty.

Finally found my beloved 6th grade teacher on Facebook. Told her how much I appreciated her. I had her in 1965! Have been looking for some great high school teachers to thank them also. Can't find them.

Yes I gave one to my old golf coach. I don't think I could fully express how much they helped me. They helped me shave a lot of strokes off my game but more importantly made golf more fun for me and helped me realize how much it means to me

I haven't written but I have thanked all the teachers that really meant something to me in person. There are advantages to being in a small town, like getting to thank my third grade teacher for making such a difference in my life or telling my art teacher how much her compassion meant in 1992.

Yes and they all were surprised to hear from me. I've found that people are quick to complain and rarely compliment. I would not be where I am today without teachers that cared so much. So, thanks to all teachers, coaches, and other influential people making differences in young lives!

The notes I have received over the years from former students mean SO much to me.... Please take a few minutes to let your current & former teachers know that you appreciate them. In a very stressful, yet rewarding profession, I assure you that it will make their day!

No, but I wish a few could know how much they are part of me, years later. My Driver's Ed teacher kept me safe for over 40 years on the road. I still hear her voice whenever I start to do something dumb. My Chemistry teacher (Hot Glass looks like cold glass). My Logic Professor (if/and/not).

That sucks. Honestly it does. I hope you get the chance at some point. I know you don't feel lacking but I wish you find this touching experience.

I don't know if they're still alive- well, at least the two that truly inspired me.
I'll have to check online...
Great idea by the way.

I wrote one for my most recent American History professor. She was an amazing teacher who made history so interesting. If someone does something worth thanking then thank them :)

I sent my 9th grade history teacher a thank you note last year in 10th grade because she truly cared about our learning and impacted my life and the way i view learning more than any other teacher.
