Merry Christmas fellow geeks

Forgot to add, the school breaks up - I don't. Got plenty to get on with over the next week or so.

3 so far all saying thanks for all your help with IT over the last year - I think the NM got a bottle of wine from someone to.

[glennda]

i got a nice bottle of christmas ale! although i don't drink ale!!

 

Last year we got loads of presents this year just that one!

[laserblazer]

I've had one card from a pupil. On the envelope it said Mr B..... (No Class) Can't say our kids are not astute.

 

We have one of the charity wall charts. Instead of giving out cards, we write a message on the chart and put some dosh in the box.

I have none from work. We finish on Friday after midday. However as I am not Christmas-Inclined I am not too bothered.

I got one, seems the guy that gave me one (an LSA) has given every member of staff one (say 200) plus some to students as well. Oh I got it on 30th November too.

 

As for presents, as a department, we got a box of celebrations via our Deputy Head. Always welcome, and greatfully received.

Your a lady - big difference.....

I have 8 cards...and I never give any out...ever

A bottle of champagne from the chair of our PTA to thank me for my help has more than made up for the absence of anything else. The Pre-Schoolers did bring me a hand drawn card of a robin (well I think that's what it is!) today

 

I never give cards at school - I make a donation to charity (Kent Air Ambulance this year) and put a poster in the staff room wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and saying which charity I've donated to.

 

One of our TAs does a similar thing making a donation to Diabetes UK.

What happened to the other half?

[mattx]

Hope not! Majority of our staff are female!!

 

Your avatar is hilarious!!

 

Glad you find it amusing - I think it's an improvement.

I'm hoping for my usual bottle of JD from a certain staff member. It's become a bit of a festive tradition to spend the first couple of days of the holiday in a sour mash-induced haze...

...and there was me thinking that was you most of the time.

a couple of cards from each job - one from a child. Nothing else - oh yes, except a thanks at the end of the carol service/nativity play (I played in the orchestra). Bit of a double-edged sword though - what the head actually said was;

'I must thank Ms xxx who is helping us out - she is a jack of all trades' -and then he said...'and master of none'

Cheeky b****. I did sweep past him and point out that I had created the program as well and really was a master of many trades.

Box of chocolates from the english department for me... I dont like chocolate

[rad]

I once gained a "present" from a year 7 student in the form of a chutney jar and mustard I think from M and S. Turned out the head also got one but wasnt as greatful for it.
