Teacher Appreciation Gifts - A Thank You Note

Written by The Team at GDI | May 10, 2013 1:21:45 AM

Give a music teacher a special Thank You Note to show your appreciation! Jessica Griffin shows you how.

When I was younger, I had an incredible music teacher! Marc Meyers. We always had so much fun in his class. He was always outgoing, and excited when we arrived. Especially when we had our records in hand! haha. When I see parents sharing gifts they've made for their child's teacher, I rarely see a gift made for a music, art or gym teacher. I'm hoping this simple project, will inspire parents to think about all their child's teachers!
