I personally thanked every teacher, principal, coach, Boys and Girls Club staff members and volunteers for being on my parenting team when my boy was growing up. There was only one who didn't get a thank you from me. In his 13yrs of school and activities, there's only one I didn't express my gratitude to. Those are some really great odds
