You know how, during the December holiday season, there are all sorts of fun activities for students and teachers? Like: gift exchanges, bringing in special holiday treats to share with colleagues, handing out cards to staff members, wishing everyone Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy Chanukah, and so on?

I always gave tins of Danish Butter Cookies to the custodial staff, to thank them for all the work they did cleaning my room and the school in general. I figured that was something all the custodians could enjoy and a large tin would last a more than just one day.
But I never saw a thank you like the one at this school in Arizona: On the counter where I have to sign in, there was a large pail with food inside and a sign stuck into it. Taking a closer look, I discovered it was a bucket of goodies for the people who deliver mail to the school. What a fantastic idea!
