'For our kids to be thinking of petrol money as a gift really highlights the sign of the times.'
Two Newtownabbey schoolkids have gifted their teacher petrol money as their end of year gift. Riley Sloan wanted to give his P7 teacher at Whitehouse Primary School a practical present, so he and his brother David decided petrol money would be ideal.
"We'd already done all the typical teacher presents and they wanted to try something different. I asked what they thought their teacher would need, and they said 'well mum, they need electric and petrol, everything's so expensive now.' We decided to get a card made and highlight the price, and give it in that way.
Casheen added that the pandemic showed the great work teachers do on a daily basis both to teach but also to care for children. "I have a 22 year old who started there in P4 so we've been with the school for 15 years, they've been like a wee family to us. It was an emotional day with Riley leaving."
