Re: Teacher Retirement Party
Posted by Shannon on 5/15/08

    what about using the old saying..."no more pencils, no more books,
    no more teachers dirty looks!" I'm not using this, but it could
    work with a book/pencil theme. Centerpieces could be old
    encyclopedia's or small books and a pencil holder in the middle.

    I am planning a party for 3 teachers to take place in 2
    weeks...it's a combined party given by our PTA. The invitations
    going out will have a picture from the 1st year of teaching and
    the current years picture. Since all are retiring to either the
    ocean or beachy area I am going with a flip-flop/beach theme. The
    dollar store has simple decor like sunglasses and a beach ball for
    the centerpieces or something like that...not sure yet.

    Along with this theme I found a bottle on line that has a cork in
    it and this saying...

    May you look backward
    With fond memories,

    May you look forward
    To a new life of ease,

    And may you find time
    To do as you please!

    May God bless you and keep you
    As you begin this new chapter of your life.

    It's typed up on pretty paper and rolled up, tied with a little
    ribbon and in the bottle. (message in a bottle). You can add a
    personal message to your retiree to the bottom of the poem or
    tweak it to write what you would like. I think I may change it to
    read the number of years of service and their individual teaching
    career information along with a thank you rather than the
    poem...but it's an idea for all of you.

    Hope this helps someone or spurs some more ideas...
