The Apple

I truly believe that teachers are so under appreciated these days. They spend most of their time managing parents and kids "issues" that I find it a small miracle that learning actually happens some days.  So when you encounter a great teacher, I feel its so important to thank them for doing the incredible work that is truly thankless. 

Gracie was so blessed to have an amazing Kindergarten teacher who not only helped her learn more than what I learned by the end of first grade, but was also caring, compassionate and determined not to let any child fall behind in their class.  She put a ton of effort into Gracie when she was struggling in her studies and helped her through some time times that were happening at home.  She is one of those teachers that I know we will never forget.

Mrs. Supper gave Gracie an amazing foundation for her education and encouraged a great enthusiasm for learning.  Throughout the year we were diligent to give the obligatory Christmas and Teacher Appreciation gifts, but wanted to give her something to show her how special we really think she is. 

So I spent a great deal of time searching, looking and Pinteresting the perfect gift.  I couldn't find anything as I felt like there really wasn't anything that matched her personality and how much we wanted to thank her. 

Until....I found the perfect Alex and Ani Bracelet.  More than the bracelet, I loved the message behind it.   We gave it to her at the end of the day at the last day of school, so we don't know if she liked it, but either way I hope she understands our appreciation.
