As a retired teacher let me thank you on behalf of teachers everywhere for doing this. Teaching is a profession that seems to be every politician’s favorite punching bag lately. According to what I read in the papers everything that is wrong with schools is the fault of teachers. I can tell you that I absolutely treasured gifts like this box when I was working with children. It helps good teachers be better teachers when their solid work is validated and recognized by parents and students in these days when no one else is saying thank you. From experience I can tell you that your son will be remembered fondly whenever his teacher see this gift.

That said, of course the boxes are beautiful wood and well made. I especially like the tops. Your work looks first rate, but more than that, I applaud the sentiment. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job on these. The woods really compliment each other.

Gr8 lookin boxes, and a really nice gesture. Congrats to your son for his accomplishment/s. I believe a teachers salary should be one of the highest paid careers there is. Lets face it, when not being taught by parents, teachers are the next best thing. There are far too many stupids in the world. GOD bless all you teachers, and thank you

What a lucky teacher to have a parent like you to make her/him such a wonderful gift. Like you I do reward teachers that really excel with my kids but generally I have given them gift cards to there favorite store (Starbucks). I may just have to do something like this as well for that special teacher that has gone beyond what is expected.

Congrats on your son’s accomplishments. You get credit for this as well as his excellent teacher. Those are super boxes and I know his teacher will be touched by your gift.

These boxes are very nice and the teachers will love them. I’m glad to hear that your son is doing well.

Thank you all for looking and the kind comments.

Great looking boxes! And as Boxguy said “Thank you”. My wife is a teacher and loves her job. The Thank you gifts mean alot, and just knowing that parents appreciate what she does, makes her want to go back every year.

Nice looking boxes. It’s nice to give something unique. I’m sure the teacher will appreciate that people do care about the good work that they do and extra effort that many put in.
