I’m leaving teaching but want to say…

…a massive thank you to my colleagues who have at least made everything fun.

I’m a manager in an FE college and MY GOD have they had their pound of flesh out of me. I’m leaving teaching (career change) but I won’t be leaving without thanking all of the people who I’ve had the pleasure of working with. My team is huge but is actually pretty tight and they work their socks off to help disadvantaged kids turn their prospects around.

How can I thank them enough? Cards? Small gifts?…

There’s…erm…50ish (would you believe me if I said that changes Ona weekly basis!). No more than £300. Was thinking I could get some bits in bulk and put some funny little package together, possibly?

for that number with that budget…. Honestly I would just be sending an email to everyone thanking them

and then with your closest colleagues…. Take them out for lunch

Actually, now that you mention lunch, I could probably sort out a buffet lunch for that budget.
