Remembering a Teacher/ Being Appreciative

I haven't seen my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Krause in over 20 years, but I still remember some things vividly about her teaching style and the kind of woman she was to her students.


One of my fondest memories of this great teacher harkens back to the last day of school, believe it or not. Instead of handing out candy to us students, something we would forget about in 5 minutes, she showed us how much she cared for us by giving us a personalized present — a certificate — to show how much we meant to her.


For more information on the story of one of my favorite teachers, and of how you can create your own certificate of appreciation for your students, check out the SchoolBox Blog.
