Gifts from students are pretty rare on high school campuses, but here are some of the more notable tokens of affection Suz and I have received over the years.
Suz:
- A box of movie theatre candy. I mean it's candy, so I'm happy.
- Homemade tamales. I want that kid in my class.
- A random book about World War II. They had been reading texts centered on WWII in class, so I guess he thought she was a big fan.
- A sweet bundle of perfume samples. Her student was very clear that this gift was not--I repeat NOT--from him, but from his mother. Ok...ok...
- Lots and lots of sweet notes for the "Happy File."
- A giant timer. And I do mean giant. It's seriously like the size of a wall clock.
- A case of Lemon-Lime La Croix. I love to sip club soda throughout the day, and my kids think it's odd. (Maybe it is...just a little)
- A sheet cake. Like a full-on, decorated with roses and "Thank You Mrs. Johnson" sheet cake.
- An apple. A classic apple on my desk. So sweet!
