How about this...
One of the most important challenges a PTO President faces is bringing together the significant skills of our parents and the myriad abilities of our teachers. Your leadership has provided an atmosphere where I've been able to feel welcomed to do just that. You have touched the lives of every person of this room in one way or another...and that is not something I can say of too many other people. Thank you for your support, thank you for your caring and most of all thank you for your leadership. It has been what has set our school apart from others and has made my position all the more enjoyable and all the more rewarding.
I would thank him/her for all their hard work and dedication to the students, staff, and families of the school.I also would thank him/her for all their support of the pto and making our organization shine and allowing us to be the best that we could be. Wish him/her good luck in their new job/retirement.
