For A One Of A Kind Teacher


I made this card for Andy's second grade teacher Mrs. Wagner. I slipped a Target gift card into this card and he gave it to her on the last day of school. We truly have been very lucky so far in preschool and elementary all of his teachers have been the BEST. The end of the school year has always been difficult for us because it always involves leaving a wonderful teacher behind. Mrs. Wagner is an amazing person and we were so blessed that she was Andy's teacher this past school year. He told us as he was getting into the car after the last day of school that he was going to miss her SO much. He is my sentimental kid and it just touched me when he told me because I could tell he was trying so hard to fight back tears. This only confirmed for me what I already knew, that she is an amazing teacher and person. She just gives so much of herself to those kids and truly loves them like her own. I always felt so comfortable sending Andy to her everyday I knew he was in good hands. She makes her students feel like they are in their second home in her class. I even get a little choked up just typing this (he gets the sentimental side from me). It takes a very special teacher to touch your heart like this....Mrs. Wagner is One Of A Kind!!!

To all you teachers out there that care so much and make a difference in our child's lives....please know that you are loved and very much appreciated. God bless you for all you do! ~Hugs~
