# Leaving school gifts that keep classmates close

Whether the whole class is moving on or one child is starting at a new school, a deck of familiar faces and personalities is a thoughtful way to say goodbye.

Motto:  "Create every day!" 

An example card — every child makes it their own.

## A farewell that feels like their class

Moving schools can mean leaving behind everyday routines and close friends. A class deck gives a departing child something they can hold, revisit and share when talking about their old school.

You can personalise the class welcome message to explain the farewell project to families, then use the shared card back to name the class and school. Keep the focus on happy memories and the friends taking part.

## Make it a gift to remember

-   For an individual farewell, explain the purpose clearly in the class welcome message. 
-   Invite classmates to contribute in time for the child’s last day. 
-   Choose a card-back title that marks the goodbye without adding sensitive personal details. 

## From class idea to class keepsake

1.  1 
    
    ### Create your class
    
    Set up the class and share its code with families.
    
2.  2 
    
    ### Let personalities shine
    
    Children create their cards with portraits, favourite things and fun stats.
    
3.  3 
    
    ### Review and order
    
    Check the cards, customise the back, then lock submissions and order your decks.
    

## Make something only your class could create

Bring their personalities together in one memorable deck.
