School gift options from graduates

In the last school year, graduates and their parents are worried not only about the upcoming exams and questions of admission, but also the organization of graduation, gifts to teachers and a traditional gift to the school. Each issue wants the present to be original, memorable and at the same time useful. Modern graduates, as a rule, prepare a whole project that combines all types of gifts: creative, traditional, useful.

Grade 11 is often a very friendly and fairly mature team. It is already well known who has leadership skills, who have creative abilities, and who have technical skills. If you take a responsible approach to organizational issues since the beginning of the school year, then preparing a creative gift for school from graduates will not be difficult.

Creative presentations: a film about the life of a school or class, a colorful album with photos, wishes, impressions, a song about a school of his own composition, a grand concert. It will be a wonderful gift, for example, on the last call when it is not customary to give expensive presents.

In schools, as a rule, long-term traditions take shape, following which each graduation leaves its mark in the history of the institution. It can be landscaping near the school: planting deciduous and fruit trees, equipment for the playground. An interesting and beautiful tradition is the design of a school art gallery or greenhouse.

Most schools are budgetary institutions, so it’s understandable that graduates want to donate something useful. This may be the repair of an office or recreation, the acquisition of technical or educational innovations, the replenishment of the school library.

.Memorous souvenirs are pleasant not only for teachers, but also for graduates and parents. This is a great opportunity to show creative talents, team cohesion. At the same time, large material costs are not required and students can organize everything on their own.

• A colorfully designed memorial album for the school museum. It can include photographs of classroom activities starting from junior or middle classes, wishes to school and students. A modern analogue is a film about class life. Such presentations are interesting in that each such album will be absolutely unique, it can be supplemented with subsequent materials, gathering for graduate meetings or the school's anniversary. In a few years, these albums will be interesting not only to teachers and graduates, but also to subsequent generations of students, telling about interesting historical moments in the life of the school.

• Great calendar with a graduation class image is another interesting idea for a creative graduation gift. It can be made austere or funny, with one large photo of the class or with several depicting particularly memorable moments.

• Mugs, T-shirts, porcelain plates with portraits of teachers or graduates - Great ideas for souvenirs. You can supplement them with memorable inscriptions with the meaning: “To the best teacher”, “Teacher No. 1”, “The coolest class teacher”.

• Graduate Concert - long-standing beautiful tradition. You can replace the concert with an interesting performance, the script for which will be written by the whole class. You can make costumes yourself and then give them to school. The highlight of the concert can be a song, words and music for which the students themselves will write.

In the preparation of such gifts can not do without the financial assistance of parents. In addition, it will be useful to consult either with the leadership of the educational institution or with the class teacher, to find out what the school really needs at the moment. The simplest thing is to purchase one of the technical innovations.

• Powerful computer. Now it’s hard to imagine full-fledged education without it, but school often lacks funds to upgrade a computer class or purchase equipment for a particular classroom. Such a gift will always be necessary and useful.

• Other equipment of the latest generation: video camera, video projector, audio equipment for the assembly hall, plasma TV, printer, copier.

• Modern boards. It’s hard to imagine a school office today without this accessory. The budget option is to replace a conventional wooden board with a metal one with a special coating that allows you to write not only with chalk, but also with a marker. Magnetic holders can be used to place didactic materials. A more expensive present is an interactive touchpad. A projector and a computer are also included.

• Set of telescopic pointers. This is a great idea both for an individual gift for subject teachers and for equipping each classroom.

• Equipping individual classrooms with teaching materials and equipment.

Now consider the more complex options that allow you to create a cozy and pleasant atmosphere in the school.

• Cabinet repair. This may be replacing the wiring with a convenient placement of outlets and changing lighting fixtures, replacing linoleum, decorating walls and ceilings with modern technologies, purchasing furniture.
• Repair school recreation. The school often does not have enough funds for the full decoration of these premises.
• Sets of beautiful curtains for classrooms, recreation, corridors, teacher's room.
• Repair of the gym or equipping it with equipment. Balls for different sports, the Swedish wall, gymnastic bars, mats, exercise machines - such presentations are always relevant, and often simply necessary.
• Certificate for the purchase of necessary school items. This will allow the school authorities to direct funds to where they are especially needed, and parents will save from unnecessary trouble.

Worthy memorable souvenirs can be made independently. It is important only to approach this process with a soul, to think over and prepare everything in advance, to carry out all the plans not only creatively, but also carefully. What options are possible?

• Decorative vases - A necessary subject in any school office. They will not only decorate the premises, but also bring undoubted practical benefits. There are many decorating techniques, and the base can be an ordinary vase or even a bottle.
• Addition to a decorative vase - handmade flowers, the petals of which can be photographs of graduates; bouquets of small handmade soft toys.
• Unusual craft - a large panel that can be made of any materials, even pencils and felt-tip pens. The entire class can take part in its manufacture.
• A large colorful wall newspaper or collage with drawings, wishes, stories from school life. In their design, everyone will be able to show their talents, touching or funny illustrations, even after many years will cause genuine interest.
• In each class there are craftswomen who can knit, sew, embroider. A set of curtains, tablecloths, napkins will be for many years a highlight and decoration of a teacher’s or school’s museum.

Based on these proposals, at the beginning of the school year, you can develop a detailed plan for preparing for graduation, in the course of which many creative ideas will surely appear, the implementation of which will diversify leisure, rally graduates, and will become a pleasant, memorable and useful gift to the school, teachers and next generations of students .
