<p>Well its graduation time, and us seniors are going off to college pretty soon. I am sure other seniors would be thinking about this too…</p>
<p>How should I go around and thank former teachers for writing recs, being helpful, being nice and, oh ya, inflating up my grades (noo just kidding!). </p>
<p>Is a hug/handshake and a big smile good enough? what about a postcard? any ideas?</p>
<p>I’m not graduating for another two years, but here are some suggestions…</p>
<p>For teachers who have made an impression on you or been especially helpful:
<p>For teachers who were helpful but didn’t have a huge influence on you:
A “thank you” card with a note of appreciation</p>
<p>For both:
A hug and a smile.</p>
<p>I don’t know what the norm is, but that’s what I would do.</p>
<p>And for that really special teacher who wrote the glowing recommendation that got you into college, you could send a postcard a few months into freshman year telling them how you’re doing. They’ll be touched that you took the time.</p>
