Helpful gift to send to school

[doricgirl80]

I hope it's ok to post here as I'm not in education but thought this would be the best place to ask.

I want to send something to my daughters school for all staff that will be a little boost in really tough times. I know that it will be a drop in the ocean and having spent a lot of time thinking about well-being in my own work life I don't want to just imagine or convey that I think a one off 'resilience pack' will do much in an onslaught of hideousness.

So I'd really welcome any ideas - my aim is to send something before the strikes to show solidarity and support for all staff whatever decision they make.

Thanks in advance for any help and for all you do in your jobs x

Biscuits. Multipacks of penguins or whatever. Enough for everyone on the staff from the head to the lady who cleans the loos.

And mostly a letter to the head and the governors and the local authority saying what you value about them.
Thank you - those things mean a lot.

Cake

Something individually wrapped for the staffroom and enough for everyone.

One of our families recently sent in an indian buffet which went down really well but I'm guessing you're more of a biscuit provider. 😛

Honestly, biscuits, cakes, nice tea bags, anything like that will go down well. If staff know you care about them and are thinking of them right now, the gesture will mean more than the actual gifts.

Alternatively, if you want to buy something useful in class, glue sticks, or a really good stapler will always go down well!

Ahh that's lovely, thank you! Enough biscuits for everyone always goes down well :)

A thank you letter to the head.

Biscuits and tea/coffee packs and maybe something they all could use fora long time, like a school calendar or supplies for classes and everyday use (pens, scissors etc).
