Thank you my fellow teacher

I have so much to be thankful for! But one of the most important people in my life is you, my fellow teacher. This is for you!

Thank you for the cheery "good morning" yelled loud enough across the hallway.

Thank you for the Diet Coke on a weary afternoon.

Thank you for the "encouragement" to go home when I was not feeling well.

Thank you for sharing your 

industrial size whole puncher and fancy fonts with me.

Thank you for covering my class 

during a meeting.

Thank you for filling the copier

with paper.

Thank you for the funny joke that made me laugh so hard I almost didn't make it to the bathroom!

And thank you for letting me know that

there is kleenex in the bathroom--but no toilet paper.

Thank you for sharing your cookies with me;

they sustained me to complete my grading.
Thank you for the blanket to keep me warm as I
traveled to say goodbye to my mother.

Thank you for the surprise of copied handouts

on my desk one morning.

Thank you for the dinner, and the nodding head 

while I vented.
Thank you for remembering my birthday
because this showed me that you took
a personal interest in me!

Thank you, for checking if I am still 

at school--and yes, I was.

Thank you for sharing your students with me--after all,

without them my life would be much less interesting!
