Writing hand written, personalized Thank You notes is still necessary in many situations. The art of actually writing an an effective one is becoming extinct. The Mountain View High School Foundation scholarship window is opening January 19, 2016 and our Mountain View Graduation is February 16, 2016, the time to start thinking about writing thank you notes is now. Good practice calls for the recipient to write a personalized thank you card after being awarded a scholarship or receiving a graduation gift.

Whether you need to thank that teacher or staff member who went the extra mile to help you graduate or that potential employer who took the time to interview you, learning to express your appreciation in writing is a critical life skill.
