I was asked by the principal of my daughters nursery school to organise a retirement present on behalf of the parents for the class nursery teacher who is retiring at Christmas for health reasons.
I have received 2 donations from parents in the class (£30) and 1 donation from a parent in the other class (£5).
To give the full picture I have had 4 children at the school previously and am also on the board of Govenors which is why I ended up with the thankless task.
There are 26 children in the class some have had older siblings at the school also taught by this teacher - she is lovely.
On the letter I sent out I did say I appreciated it was a difficult time of year but a donation of any size would be appreciated.
There was also a free option of adding a message or a picture drawn by the child to a book that was being compiled - there have been 2 pictures and 1 message all from the same families that donated.
In light if all this it really does seem hard to call this a class present but what do I say I feel mortified that I am supposed to present this on Friday - her last day.
AIBU to say here is a present from a few parents?
