150 Kindness or Thank You Note Cards for Appreciation Days w/ Template

Use this ultimate Kindness Note Card kit, complete with 150 card designs, to spread thank yous, gratitude, and more to students and staff!

Includes is everything you need to teach writing thank you, support, and well wishes for a whole year of kindness:

• Year-long calendar of appreciation days and holidays
• Detailed teacher overview
• Student directions, sample letters, and rubrics to formally teach
• 4 different designs and 4 different size options

This kit is specifically designed for middle and high school students, in both the instructional materials and the card designs.

Greatness is taking the time to express one’s gratitude for others.

The handwritten card is becoming a lost art, at a time when we need it the most. Even if you aren't the Student Council Advisor, this kit is a must-have in the classroom.

In my school, we write cards for everything. It's just who we are because we've normalized it! We write welcome notes to new students and staff, thank you notes for guest speakers, warm wishes cards during the holidays, and appreciation notes during Teacher Appreciation Week.

I even have a card basket out at all times with note cards, envelopes, pens, and stickers for students to grab and write one when the need arises!
