Is this a nice way of saying thanks in lieu of a present?

[Campaspe]

My DD is coming to the end of her reception year. She has really thrived and I am grateful to her teachers for making her year so happy and for the progress she has made academically. DD has 2 teachers on a job-share and an LSA. Rather than buy presents for all 3, I was thinking of sending a thank you note via the headteacher to thank them for making DD's first year at school so happy and for giving her the best possible start to her school career.

Do you think this would be nice? If you are a teacher, would you like this? I thought it would be nice to go through the HT, as I imagine she is their line manager, and I thought it's always nice if your boss hears you've done a good job. Or is this just naff?

Any thoughts welcome.

I think that is nice

They will love it.

I'm a Teacher and can't think of anything I would appreciate more than that.

Would go down v well at our school. A parent wrote a lovely letter recently as their child left at end of Y3 and the HT read it out to whole staffroom and showed it to governors. If I were the teacher I would be .

As a teacher myself I would be chuffed to bits if a parent sent in a letter like that to my head teacher. It would mean much more than a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates. Great idea :-)

I did this last year for DD's fantastic nursery teacher (school attached nursery). I sent it straight to the HT and she blubbed on me saying in all her 20 years of teacher it was the nicest thing anyone had every done

I had been thinking of how I could show my appreciation to DS's teachers (it is a school nursery and he has 2 main teachers (job-share) and 6 teaching assistants so was going to cost a lot if I had bought them all something!) but this has just solved my problem! Seeing as though you all seem to think this is a great idea, I am going to do the same! Thanks Camp.
