Other Sentences to Go the Extra Mile
• Be specific on lessons, or activities your child love and talked about the most for the message to become more personal.
• Include a funny and memorable quote that your child said once he/she came back from school one day.
• Refer to their character, energy, or ideas to tell them what quality and positive trait of their personalities have been beneficial for your child.
• Get a tasteful present you know they will like, something in their style! If they love chocolate you could get them a box of personalised chocolates with a sweet photo of a school trip they had, or a fun and colourful notebook for the classroom, or quirky mug to drink their tea in every day.
