I would like to thank everyone at Dunrossness for a fantastic last day. From start to finish I had a lovely time.

Primary 6/7 – you are all stars! Thank you so much for the surprise party and wonderful cake.

I can’t thank you enough for all the lovely gifts and cards you gave me- I am extremely lucky and will treasure them all.

As for all my colleagues-how can I put into words how touched and appreciative I am for the lovely and thoughtful ways you came up with to celebrate my time at Dunrossness and say goodbye.

Your versions of Allan Ahlberg’s poem ‘Please Mrs Butler’ and the wartime song ‘Pack Up Your Troubles’ were so clever and more or less summed up my teaching career. There were very emotional to listen to.

Mrs Henderson-I was really pleased to receive  a good  ‘school report’ from you and P6/7!

Thank you all so much for the beautiful gifts you gave me, each one carefully chosen to bring back happy memories of my time at Dunrossness.

A special thank you to Peter Wood for the wonderful tune he wrote, recorded and played for me at my final assembly. It is a beautiful tune and I feel extremely honoured.

Finally I would like to say what a pleasure it has been to teach at Dunrossness this last 30 years, and this is due to the wonderful children, supportive parents and fantastic colleagues I have met and worked with over the years.

Thank you everyone for a fantastic send- off.

Mrs Sandra Hay x
