Students Are Surprising Teachers With Meaningful Notes and We Can't Get Enough
Students are hand delivering sweet notes to teachers—and their reactions are going viral! Boost teacher morale at your school with this simple but thoughtful teacher appreciation activity. Plus, get our free set of teacher appreciation notes featuring pre-written prompts for students!
When Flagstaff Academy in Longmont, Colorado, posted a touching Instagram reel of students hand delivering sweet notes to their teachers, they probably weren’t expecting 300,000+ views in just a few days. But, that’s the beauty of social media, and seeing those small but mighty moments play out in real schools across the country is exactly the kind of stuff we need more of.
The idea is simple: students hand deliver notes with short prompts, like “Bring this to a teacher who made you believe in yourself” or “Bring this to a teacher who might not realize how much they matter.” When teachers read them, it creates a simple but meaningful moment of connection between the teacher and student. The best part about this teacher morale booster is that it proves you don't need to spend a penny to make teacher appreciation truly meaningful. Want to bring this activity to your school? Simply print your notes (use our free printables below), have students choose a prompt, and hand deliver notes to teachers. Watch the smiles spread...and happy tears shed! 🥹
