Awards & honors
Congratulations are in order. I found this on my desk at the end of a long, hard day. And I didn’t even know I was nominated. Despite its lack of objectiveness and legitimacy, that it’s written on scratch paper horizontally and my name is spelled wrong, I’m considering listing it on my resume. Someone might believe it. She apparently does.
It’s strange how sentimental things like this can make my day. Too easy to please? Maybe. But if your looking to cheer me up, take a cue from Jazmine.

Congrats, Jeff! I’m telling all of my friends at work that I know the Best History Teacher in 2009 and 2010.
You couldn’t ask for a more objective and legitimate source than one of your own students, Jeff. And the “award” is replete with symbolism in its having been written horizontally on scratch paper with your name misspelled.
That is the paycheck. Nice, thankful kids who find a way to tell you that you are great. I always value my kids opinions over any praise that i have ever received from adults. So thanks. You were one of those kids…
I’d still agree if it was on a gold plated plaque.
At the end of a long day, a little boy handed me a similar piece of paper as well as two hearts cut out of notebook paper. “It looks like you’ve had a hard day, Ms. Loth. Actually, it looks like every day is a hard day.”
You are wonderful.
She didnt give me one of those…
Oh, how sweet! She’s my favorite
Well deserved honey
