<p>Hi:</p>

<p>New situation for me. S applied only to publics and didn't need to do letters of rec.</p>

<p>D is applying to a private as well as for some scholarships. She is getting letters of rec, and I'm wondering what is the proper thank you to the letter writers.</p>

<p>Is a nice thank you card OK? Should it be something tangible: gift card, food item, etc?</p>

<p>What is protocol?</p>

<p>We gave starbucks cards and a nice note. Of course, we give starbucks cards and a nice card to all of the teachers. Not original, but they seem to like them better than the old standby, “The candle.” LOL</p>

<p>My sons each wrote a thank you note to the teacher, and gave them a very small gift - I think one gift was a nice pen, the other was a gift to a childrens charity in the name of the teacher. The note was the important part - I think it was much appreciated.</p>

<p>didn’t someone just ask this??</p>
