“Retirement is a bitter-sweet time. Receiving the MemoryPress book was immensely rewarding for me. Realizing that past students, some now even in their twenties, could still remember many of the things we did in first grade--even down to the songs we sang and the books we read--showed me it was worth all the energy invested. I recently reread the entire book and my heart filled with gratitude for the lives I was able to touch. This little book is a treasure that will only grow more precious as the years go by.”

More About This Teacher Retirement Gift:
MemoryPress provides a collaborative way to honor your favorite teacher with a retirement gift that he or she will never forget.
Great teachers impact us at special times. Writing is perhaps the best way to say thank you and waiting for a teacher retirement gift isn't always necessary. However, even if your teacher's retirement has come and gone, it's never too late to say thank you. Please start a MemoryPress book and start writing your thoughts to your favorite teachers.
Recently, it saddened me to hear the story of an elementary school teacher who received a thank you note from a student when she was in her Eighties and nearing her death bed. She wrote the grateful student and thanked him for giving her "the only thank you note I ever received. I always wondered whether my life had an impact on others." There are other favorite teachers who come to my mind, but I don't think it's necessary to share more of my experiences...it's time to write your own. Your written thank you may be the greatest reward your favorite teacher ever receives.
