- During the last faculty meeting of the year, Léman Manhattan Preparatory School teachers were provided time to "choose their own adventure" and work on end-of-year projects. However, instead of grading exams, completing report cards or packing up classrooms, these talented teachers had a different adventure brewing - a surprise performance for Head of School Drew Alexander to help him celebrate his retirement after 42 years in international education.
If I had colleagues that loved me enough to do that I would unretire with immediate affect. Such a lovely performance.
WOW! This has got to be the single most successful re-wording of a now classic song, and such talent ... incredible. And what a beautiful retirement gift to give. Can't understand why I have a tear in my eye.

That was one of the best retirements I have ever seen, obviously a great teacher and a fantastic staff.
We will never have ceremonies like that one in France...
That's one lucky dude.
We should all be so lucky to be loved and missed by so many.
He can be so very proud to be leaving with such a loving send off…. That was great
He left his mark with them and how they let him know! How fantastic!
What a bunch of talented teachers !!
Oh my goodness!! 😮Even all the staff can sing really well too!!! What the heck?! That was amazing!
Imagine getting such praise. Wow! Drew, you must be the man!
Now THAT is a very talented staff!!
Just a group from a school. They can write the lyrics and sing so well!!
wow! what a beautiful gift . priceless .
Amazing-what a tribute! "One Day More" is drug out for so many occasions when it doesn't make any sense, but here they've done a masterful job of rewriting the lyrics to fit the individual's situation. A lucky man indeed!
Wowww. He must be quite a guy! What a loving gesture ❤️❤️❤️
What an awesome farewell - how lucky is Drew - AND - some very lucky teachers to have had him as an example!!!!
Love it! Talented group. Well done!
To be loved by do many.
Truly blessed..the singing was fun also
Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! This brought a tear to my eye. Drew must be a really great guy to be loved by so many of his co-workers!
Holy sendoffs! Well done Leman team.
Enjoy retirement Drew.
What an awesome tribute and a talented staff!
He was clearly so loved.
3 years on.... hopefully now well relaxed and enjoying retirement. Anyone know? Definitely Talented teachers and a good music department behind the venture.
OMG... this was just amazing.... Dublin guy here...
Soooooo very beautiful... Drew must have been a special teacher to have had that tribute!.... loved it!
2021... and I still get excited.
What is the probability that there are so many teachers who can really sing in one place? The fact that there could be a few teachers in the staff who have good singing skills is not so surprising. But this? Everyone here who has a microphone in their hand has singing skills that are not far from professional. I could understand if this was a school for music and performing arts, but as I understand, it's a regular school ...
And the idea and the brilliant text - impressive!
Incredible...harmonies are musically on point!
Some cracking good voices there, lucky guy to have such a send off. The lady with long blonde hair a shortish dress would be at home on any west end stage!
Awww, that's fantastic! He must be an amazing admin. :) Congrats on a well-performed farewell, very talented group!
Omg that was the best rendition, EVER
just beautiful - well done all of you!!
Fantastic Teacher's ❤️👏👏👏
Just found this, loved it, hope the head is enjoying his retirement 🙂
Wow....how talented they all are...I wish I could sing too!
this was so nice!

What a wonderful way to retire!
That's clever! Awesome.
what kind of school is this where all the faculties are pro singers o.O
Is a musical theater background a requirement to be hired as a teacher there? It reminds me of the South Park episode spoofing High School Musical and making fun of the incredulity of a normal school population (Leman Manhattan isn't a performing arts school) breaking out in skilled coordinated musical numbers. Except, apparently, Leman Manhattan teachers are like that in real life.

That was really cute but THIS is my favorite retirement send-off of a beloved School of the Performing Arts teacher:
