New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
Here's to an employee whose loyalty wasn't loud but was the steady part of the room.
May the next chapter pay you in time, attention, and the small freedoms that work rarely allows.
Retire well — you finished the assignment, and the work you leave behind is in good shape.
To my colleague in the staffroom — may the next bell be the last one you ever ignore.
You taught beside me through curriculum changes that aged us both in noticeable ways.

More from today
Retire into mornings without lesson plans and afternoons without the weight of marking piles.
May the substitute teacher legends about your classroom outlive both our pensions easily.
Here's to a colleague who shared lunch and lesson ideas with equal, easy generosity.
Step out of the school knowing your influence walks the hallways inside hundreds of students.
Wishing you the freedom of summers that stretch without an August catch in the throat.
You were the teacher next door who made the worst Monday feel collegial somehow.
May the staffroom kettle finally quiet now that the loudest debate has retired with you.
Here's to the colleague who covered for me when my class went sideways more than once.
Retire well — the school year keeps turning, but your version of it set the rhythm.
Wishing you decades of reading nothing scribbled in the margins by a tired teenager.
You taught me alongside the students; the lesson plans went both directions, frankly.
May the parents who emailed late on Sundays no longer haunt the calm of your weekends.
Step into the quiet of a calendar without parent evenings and report-card season looming.
Here's to a colleague whose classroom door was always slightly open for the students who needed it.
Wishing you the long, unsupervised lunches we promised ourselves and never quite took.
May your retirement bring the satisfaction of finished work without the missed deadlines.
You showed me how to grade fairly and how to forgive a missed homework gracefully.
Step away knowing the school will quietly never replicate the version of teaching you offered.
Wishing you the unscheduled curiosity of being a student again, in whatever you choose next.
