SAMPLE LETTERS
Dear [teacher’s name],
Thank you for all that you have done and are continuing to do for me this year. Your dedication and your generosity does not go unnoticed, especially during this time of uncertainty. I truly appreciate the amount of time and effort that you have put into planning our virtual lessons and am grateful to have a teacher who is always there for me. You have taught me more than just [insert academic topic here] as I have also learned valuable life lessons that I will carry with me in my future endeavors. [Share some examples :)] You’ve helped me learn my strengths and build upon my weaknesses this past year. Thank you for supporting and encouraging me even when I didn’t necessarily believe in myself. Thank you for being an inspiration and a role model that I can always look up to.
As the school year is ending, I hope that you are also relaxing and taking the time to do non-teacher related things. Thank you for an amazing year, and have a wonderful summer! Hope to see you soon :)
Best,

Dear Healthcare Worker,
Thank you so much for all that you have done and are continuing to do for our community, especially during these past few months. I wanted to let you know that I truly appreciate your time and dedication to helping both hospital patients and those around you. During this time of self-quarantine, it must be difficult to be constantly working and caring for others, while also trying to care for your own families. So thank you. Thank you for the countless amount of early work days and late night shifts. Thank you for having a kind and caring heart while being on the front lines during this time. You have helped so many families, all the while putting on a brave face each day.
It’s through people like you that I’ve learned that leadership isn’t only about excelling and doing great things for myself, but rather, it’s about being able to encourage, help, and serve those around me. True heroes care. True heroes serve their people, and I hope to make an impact in our community like you one day.
Thank you so much, and I hope that you, too, are safe.
Love,
