“Good morning, Ms Kesler,” Marson said when he came into my office this morning carrying a bag.
“Good morning, Marson. How are you? What do you have there?” I replied.
Smiling, he handed me the bag. “This is from my mom.”
“Thank you. What’s it for?” I asked, wondering why I would possibly be given a gift when my birthday isn’t for another two months.
Marson shrugged his shoulders, then turned around, smiled and left my office.
Opening up the bag, I was greeted with a bunch of goodies! Along with a fashion magazine, I was given some fancy crackers, a bottle of wine, chocolates, and some delicious cookies from a fancy bakery in town. In addition to the goodies, there was a handwritten note thanking me for my help on the Primary Production last week.
Nothing brings a smile to my face more than a surprise. What a great start to the week!
my heart is happiest when i travel. read. write. connect. 
What a great way to start the day! Days like this are the best! Hope you wear the smile all day 🙂
They sure are!
So often, what we accomplish as teachers is intangible. It is great to get that appreciative feedback for a job well done. Enjoy!
This is true. It was very nice to be appreciated.
How delightful, what a great bunch of gifts plus a thank you note. A great start to any day!
Perfect start on a Monday!
How wonderful. This keeps a smile on a face for a long time.
Yes it does!
What kindness! Enjoy your basket of joy!
Thanks Elsie!
This is so thoughtful and sweet. Our efforts so often go unrecognized, which we know and are used to, but it’s a nice change of pace to be thanked! Yay for kind parents and students! I’m sure you are so deserving! 🙂
Thank you…it was certainly kind of them!
That’s a great way to start your day! Little appreciation surprises are nice to receive! 🙂
