Every year, countless Skyline teachers take time to write college letters of recommendation for our seniors. A wonderful way to show appreciation for them is baking delicious treats!
Especially in the midst of snow days and winter slump, spending time baking is a great winter activity for students, and the perfect way to say thank you to the special teacher who is helping you get into your dream college. Even if you’re not graduating this year, giving thanks through tasty baked goods is never a bad idea.
But do you ever find yourself stuck, not knowing what to make? What baked goods do teachers really like, and why? Look no further: we asked lots of Skyline teachers about their favorite baked goods to receive from students, and here’s what they reported!
- Cookies. According to French teacher Laura Davis, any kind of cookie is the perfect treat to receive from students, because “who doesn’t like cookies?” Furthering their support, math teacher Mike Lovelace also says cookies are one of the best baked goods, “especially chocolate chip cookies.”
- Fudge. Fudge is a great dessert for chocolate lovers, and is another treat that Lovelace would love to receive, saying “I like fudge a lot, and I don’t have it a lot during the year.”
- Oatmeal cookies without raisins. Distinguished from the general category of cookies because of their uniqueness, raisinless oatmeal cookies are the ideal dessert for CMPP and history teacher Ross Dunbar, who reported “I just love oatmeal cookies, but I don’t really like them with raisins.”
- Sour candy. Teachers like Cate Mcraw who aren’t into sweet and chocolatey goods would love to receive treats like sour candy, because it’s the only kind of dessert she likes. Making homemade sour candy could be an interesting quest for students.
Teachers are always happy to receive any kind of thank you and a variety of treats. For all students who decide to thank their teachers with something sweet this year, we wish you happy baking!
