Retirement Dinner
By NJ Teacher

Clip to ScrapBook   
Our Teachers' Association has a recognition/retirement dinner at a local hotel. 25 year employees are honored, as well as retirees from the entire district. Our district has three elementary schools, a middle school and a
high school, and it a suburban one. The dinner is pricey, and some years, it is more well-attended than others.They are given a gift like a silver frame that is engraved from the Associaton. At the building level, we also honor our retirees, but that is at someone's home, or a nice restaurant. $250 from our building social fund is used to get the person a piece of jewelry from the staff.
We used to have a lot of long, flowery speeches, but that was cut at the request of the retirees. The problem with that also was if someone was popular and well-known, they would have a very different speech than someone who wasn't liked or who no one knew very well. There also is a program where a page is devoted to writing about the person.
