After 25 years of teaching grade school music, mostly part time, today was my last teaching day. The kids knew in advance, and Kaitlyn in 4th grade, has a brother I taught a few years ago. She gave this to me today - her and her brother made a music box and a coin for me. The rarest coin I'll ever own! (and one of the most valuable to me)

Congratulations !
I believe it!
We were actually were in person with all the protocols and a few 2 week quarantines here and there. It was difficult, but we made it.
Wow, what a great gift! Something to remember forever. From a couple of kids who will surely remember you too!
That is so spectacular!!

Congratulations on retirement.... Now you will see your days fill up with many, many things, and you will wonder how you found time to work. Very nice - and special - gifts from your students. Were they done on a 3D printer? Cheers, RickO
Very nice!
That's extremely thoughtful! They really respected you!
Congratulations on a career of teaching. Just imagine all the other lives you influenced over the years. Well done, sir.

Big congrats!
Very thoughtful gift.
Thank you for all those years teaching our kids!!
Neat !
It looks like the coin and music box were both made by 3D printing ?
Wow, how magnificent is that?
Awesome, dude.
Congratulations Matt.
You should send that coin in to PCGS. Lol.
No, seriously! They might really place it in a holder?

What does the music box play?
Thank you for all the kind comments, I'll still be working, just not teaching. The music box plays the theme to Super Mario and I'm pretty sure it and the coin were from a 3 D printer.
I was blessed with good principals, students, and parents, so it was a great run. I did forward this thread to Brandon and Kaitlyn so they could see the great comments. Thanks again for those wishes and words.
