My most fond back-to-school memories were spent opening up my lunch box to discover a sweet hand-written note from my mom. This note was small but it was powerful. It reminded me that I was loved, brave, smart, kind, and able.

My hope is that these printable notes give your children that same confidence on their first day of school as they did for me.

Directions: Simply print the PDF, cut on the dotted line, write a short hand written note on the back, and place in your child’s lunch box. Use weekly until completed. Enjoy!
