When I spoke at my high school graduation, I quoted, you guessed, Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
As my oldest’s preschool graduation quickly approached a few years ago, I knew that I wanted to do something special for her. Looking back, there were so many teachers who had tremendous influence on me and I still remember their words of encouragement. I decided that I wanted my daughter to have a written remembrance of those words from her teachers!
I hopped on to Amazon.com and had my copy of Oh, The Places You’ll Go!
Each year, I’ve taken it to my daughter’s classroom a few weeks before the end of the school year and given it to her teacher to sign. I usually leave it with them for a day or two so they can sign it at their leisure. Each year I take a picture of her teacher’s words just in case the book somehow gets misplaced, too. Always good to have back up! It’s been so fun to read her teachers’ words and I can’t wait to give this to her when she graduates!

This is such a great idea! I had someone give me this book when I graduated from high school, but I love having the teachers write in it. That will be so fun!

Isn’t it incredible what an impact Dr. Suess has had on so many people? His words have become such a part of our culture. Just goes to show how important children’s book authors are.

When my daughter graduated fifth grade her gifted teacher gave the whole class “Oh The Places You’ll Go” with a personalized message in each book. I love all the cute snack ideas!

I don’t think you can ever go wrong with Dr. Seuss. There’s not a time in my life when some of those most prolific words haven’t fit in at some point to encourage me, remind me or implore me to look up and reach forward. Absolute best gift. Ever. You’ve created an amazing memory for your child.
