Embracing the Dark Side

of Homeroom Momdom:

I sent (through the school) hand written thank yous to the families who either came and helped, or who sent things to the class for the Halloween party. I tried to be sure and mention what they did, to be sure they knew it wasn't a generic gesture.

I never got so much as a verbal "thank you for helping" during the Toad's tenure in elementary school--matter of fact, I was usually made to feel that I was not only unneeded, but unwanted as well.

I just hope it wasn't dorky to so. (And I hope that doing them a week after the party was okay, I'm not so good on this etiquette stuff.)

I plan to do the same for the other parties that are coming up also.

I think its a great idea, and have never thought someone was a dork for sending me a thank you.

I am a "Thank you" person.
I send and say thank for just about everything.

I think what you is is courteous and a nice thing to do.
