![]() ![]() ![]() I started this tradition for James with his Kindergarten teachers and hope to continue – at the very least until 8 th grade graduation. She then presented the book as a surprise to her daughter when she graduated high school. I’m sending in a copy of “Oh the Places You’ll Go!” to the office and am hoping you’ll write something in it as a surprise for James.Ī friend of mine bought this same book for her daughter and had each of her daughter's teachers write a little note and sign it at the end of each school year. I will be honest and let you know that I usually simply send an email a day or two before I send in the book that goes something like this (my boys go to a Catholic K-8 school): I’ve also had some requests for the letter I send with the book. You can also import it into a Word document and add a text box with a "From" line or add it by hand. These are both originally 4圆 so you can easily print them on your photo printer or upload it and have it printed where ever you print your photos. I didn't come up with the idea for these (visit A Sprinkle of This to see her tag idea & for some cute shower gifts to go along with the book!) but I did put something together in a digital scrapbooking program that you can print off & add to your gift. This blog post was mentioned on A Sprinkle of This.A Dash of That and I've had some people contact me about the tags. She then “stole” the idea for her own son. My friend first learned about this when she was asked to sign a copy of this book for one of her students. It will be a special gift, even if you aren’t able to capture every teacher they had! I think it’s never too late to start! If it’s convenient you could always go to the teachers and have them sign the book after the year has ended. I’ve heard from a lot of friends that wish they’d heard of this earlier. I think this would be a great book to give a new mom, along with a note explaining the tradition. sign the book next year after they have a chance to get to know the boys a bit more. I plan on having the school principal, priests, gym teacher, librarian, etc. (A great suggestion made by Basaltine in the comments is to have Scout leaders sign, too! How about coaches?) We switched from a public school to a Catholic school this year and I wish I would have had a few others sign the books last year before we left. I have one of these special books started for each of my boys and plan on not only having their teachers sign the book but also any other special people/teachers from the school. With the party going on all around him he poured over it, going over each page, each signature, each note. When her son graduated from high school she presented the book to her son at his party. They left notes, poems and some just signed their name. Throughout the years she secretly gave her son’s teachers the book to sign at the end of the school year. When her son was young my friend purchased a copy of “ Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” by Dr. ![]() One of my scrapbooking friends shared this tradition and I thought I’d pass it on to you!
