If you are not comfortable giving them a gift, there are plenty of ways to let teachers know how much you appreciate what they do. A simple note or card is always welcome, or a handmade craft from a student. 

Parents can also donate books to school libraries in honor of a favorite teacher or a donation can be made in a teacher's name to the Needham Education Foundation (NEF).
