Thanksgiving Cards for Coworkers and Teachers: Simple Ways to Say Thanks

Thanksgiving is the one holiday that is literally about gratitude, which makes it the easiest time of year to thank the people you work with or the teachers who look after your kids. Unlike a December card, a Thanksgiving card stands out because fewer people send them, and the message feels more personal.

For coworkers and your team

• "Thankful to work with you. This year was so much easier with you on the team."
• "Thanks for always jumping in when things got busy. Have a restful Thanksgiving!"
• "Grateful for your hard work, your humor and your patience. Enjoy the long weekend."
• Managers: thank each person for one specific contribution. It means more than a generic note.

For teachers

• "Thank you for helping Mia love reading this year. We're so grateful for you!"
• "Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for your kindness and patience every single day."
• Have your child add a drawing or one sentence of their own. Teachers keep those.

Etiquette tips

• Keep workplace cards secular-neutral and short.
• Hand them out on the last workday before the holiday.
• Giving to a whole team? A printable lets you print the same design for everyone at once.
