teacher appreciation day

Oct. 5th is the national teacher appreciation day, I marked it on the calander. on Oct. 3rd, we had to take Ian to us embessy for his passport renew. so on Oct, 3rd night, I wrote a simple note to his teacher, Mrs. Brown:

Thank you for keeping Ian's school life so busy ,interesting and fun. Thank you for teaching Ian life values and knowledge. We truly appreciate your work!

and she wrote back:

Thank you for your kind note, you made my day, you should be proud of Ian, you installed great values in his life....

well , couple of days later, on dinner table, Ian told me that, his teacher Mrs. Brown read my note to her class and told the class that 'see? how nice Ian's mom is "
It's nice to be recognized and adknowledged. As a teacher, I guess I know better .
