Teacher Retirement Party Help
Anybody have any ideas for a retirement party. We have the restaurant already but wanted to do some kind of activity or read a poem. Going blank on this. Any suggestions???
Re: Teacher Retirement Party Help
My little nuggets
Most of the teacher retirement parties that I have been to have had a mc of sorts. This person has organized other people to get up and tell a memorable/funny moment. This can be fellow students, past principals, etc, etc. I would have a few people lined up, but tell people in the begining that others can get up and say something as well. With a room full of teachers, some will take you up on this offer.
Another thing that is really popular these days is to collect stories, poems, drawings, etc from previous students, coworkers, principals and make a book out of all of that to present to the retiree.
I've also seen where they have arranged for a suprise guest to come (the retiree doesn't know that the person is coming, but they do know that the party will happen). In one case this was a childhood friend, in another case it was a past co-worker.
The last thing that I've seen alot of is more of a "gift". They theme it after what the person will be doing post-retirement. One had the person get "dressed up" another just gave the items to the retiree. It is more of a funny type thing with gag items.
HTH.
