Words from parents for the class teacher
The class teacher plays an important role in the life of your child and the class as a whole, so he deserves the warmest words. First, invite him to the party, and then I suggest telling him the following:
On behalf of all parents, I want to thank you, dear (name). Thanks to hard work, teaching talent, patience and the ability to communicate correctly with schoolchildren, you were able to teach children everything that could be useful to them in later life. Your work is truly priceless. Children talk about you very often, they love and respect their teacher, and this is worth a lot. Let your students listen to you and your colleagues understand. Happiness to you, (name)!
***
On this warm summer day, we all gathered here for a reason. Today our children and their teachers celebrate graduation. Of course, each teacher contributed to the education of our children, but most of all I would like to thank the class teacher. It was the leader who did the most for the 11/9th grade students; she gave them not only school knowledge, but also simple life advice. Thanks to this person, they grew up to be kind, honest and decent people, for which I thank her very much!
***
From year to year, the class teacher invested maximum knowledge and skills in her students. Thanks to her work, today our children can enter the best universities in the country. Not only did (name) do this, she managed to properly educate the students in her class. And what are extracurricular meetings worth, because they helped the class unite, and now the students are not just former classmates - they are friends. Thanks for all. May your life be filled with smiles and happiness!
***
Dear (name), I would like to thank you for leading the class through interesting and educational 11 years of life. Thank you for never giving up and having iron patience. All the parents gathered here sincerely wish you health and strength to teach the next generations of children. Never know troubles and worries. Happiness to you, (name)!
Idea! The parents' response is not necessarily a celebratory speech. You can create a video greeting (or a mini-film with the participation of everyone), make an exhibition of memorable photographs/works of graduates, or arrange a cool flash mob.
***
On behalf of all parents of 9th grade students, I would like to thank the class teacher for his kindness, care and ability to find a common language with the children. You have become a second mother for your students, they love you and respect you very much. It is difficult for us, like them, to part with such a wonderful person, but, alas, life goes on as usual, and it is time for the children to leave the cozy walls of their home school. I would like to wish you, (name), good health and good students. May there be something good in every day, and may your heart always be warm.
***
Dear (name), we express our deep gratitude to you for everything you have done for your charges. We will always remember your work and care for children. Without sensitive guidance and teaching talent, it would be much more difficult to raise such smart and kind children as they are now. Thank you, you are, without exaggeration, the best teacher!
***
The class teacher is a very important person in the life of each of us. Even after many years, our children will remember your advice and instructions. You opened up more and more new horizons for them, helped them get through problems and experiences. It was thanks to you that they became kind and sympathetic people. Thank you, (name), and low bow!
***
The time has come to part, and this, of course, is sad. It is especially difficult to say goodbye to the class teacher, the person who became the second mother for our children. It is impossible to imagine how much patience and strength it took to help us, parents, raise our children. You did the impossible, and it would be a crime to leave and not say thank you. Thank you, dear (name)! Thank you for not just doing the job, but putting your soul into it. You are a very kind and sympathetic person, and we thank God that you were the class teacher of the 11th grade.
You shouldn’t get by with just gratitude; on this special day, be sure to present your class teacher with some significant gift. A laptop, a high-quality office chair or a vacation package will do.
Among the budget prizes I would like to highlight:
- sets (only if the recipient is a woman),
- stationery sets (we are talking about high-quality and stylish sets, you should not give ordinary stationery)
- and purchase certificates (order online or buy in any large store in the city).

Dear Elvira Olegovna!
We sincerely thank you and, in your person, all the teachers of school No. 73 in Orenburg for being there throughout all our school years and tirelessly contributing to our future.
Passing final exams and receiving a certificate is not just one day in your school life, it is the most important day, perhaps, of your entire life. After all, it is from this day that the door to further, adult life opens. And it was you who helped us open this door!
We all received more than just a certificate of completion of an educational institution - we gained something more. Each of us received evidence that we have already achieved something in this life and will definitely achieve it again. We owe this significant achievement to you and all the teachers of the school. And we want you to share our pride and joy with us, just as you shared our successes and failures throughout your many school years.
We would like to wish that all the good done for us will return to you multiplied many times over. Let your work infuse you with new strength, energy, vitality, optimism and self-confidence. I wish you good health, peace and confidence in the future!

Answers from parents to graduates at graduation
The most important people at prom are your children. I recommend giving one of these speeches to graduates:
Our beloved children, on this special day I would like to wish you much, much happiness and good health. May your cherished dreams come true, and may your school friends never be forgotten. Always go forward and do not forget that we, parents, love you very much and are always waiting for you to come home. Don’t forget the teachers who gave you knowledge and their care. May your guardian angel always be with you. God bless you!
***
The long-awaited graduation has arrived. For you, kids, this time has been dragging on for a long time, but for us, it seems, only a moment has passed. You have become adults so quickly and are about to fly away from your native nest, leave school and go to a new life. Of course, we are happy for you, but parting is always a sad event. We wish you happiness, success and good friends. Happy graduation!
***
On behalf of all the parents gathered here, I would like to congratulate the 11th grade graduates! May the goals you set for yourself be achieved. Let studying at a university become a pleasant adventure and at the same time a ticket to a good life. Never give up, and then you will definitely achieve your goal. We believe in you and love you very much!
***
All graduates are happy and having fun, because today is their holiday. We, parents, are also very happy, but for some reason our hearts ache with sadness and longing. Perhaps this is due to the fact that our children have already grown up and are about to leave their home. Their childhood was so bright, interesting and touching that we don’t want to let it go. But still we are happy, we are glad that you will find your place in life. We wish you to always achieve your goals. May your dreams come true one after another, and may your studies bring only joy and fun. Happy graduation to you!
Advice!
No matter how touching and interesting your response may be, I still do not recommend delaying it. Be moderately eloquent and at the same time concise, then everything will be fine!
Dear children, on this beautiful summer day, on behalf of all parents of 9th grade, I want to congratulate you on your graduation. This is the first truly important event in your life that you can never forget. I wish you to find your purpose in life and never know grief and sadness. Have a great time this day!
***
Today is a big holiday for everyone present. Students rejoice at the new stage of their lives - students, and teachers are proud that they were able to raise good and responsible people. Only the parents are a little sad, because their little ones have become quite adults. Of course, you are graduates, but for us you are still the same children, except that now we don’t need to lead you to school by the hand. We love you, dears! Let your life be a continuous white stripe, never lose heart and know that we will always come to the rescue.
Idea!
Supplement your ceremonial speech with a couple of interesting stories, for example, from the childhood of graduates. But keep in mind that the stories should be funny, because tears will flow like a river at the prom.
Time has flown by so quickly, as if yesterday our children were hesitantly stepping into first grade, and today they are already celebrating the end of school. Our beloved children, we would like to wish you success in your studies, true friends, good health and good mood. May there always be a smile on your faces and love in your heart. May each of you achieve success in your chosen profession and find a good, profitable job. Don’t forget about your hometown and the school that gave you the path to life. Happiness and goodness to you. Happy graduation!
***
On this solemn day, I would like to wish all the graduates a good mood, have a great time on this holiday. No matter how far fate has thrown you, always remember your home school, teachers and classmates, because your childhood years were spent right here, among these people. The doors of the school and parental homes are always open, but I want to look for happiness in some new city, because you are still so young, and you definitely need to visit different parts of our vast country and beyond. Be happy and always remember where it all began!

Heartfelt words of gratitude to the first teacher from graduates:
in prose
- At the new stage of our life, you became the first person who led us on the journey. You gave us new knowledge, taught us friendship and manners. They never refused help and were always able to repeat the material several times. From little incompetents, we turned into intelligent children and went on to conquer science. We would like to thank you for your understanding, help and training.
- The first teacher gives students an initial introduction to school and school life. We loved the school, the atmosphere of friendship reigns in our class. You have fulfilled your main calling - you have created a friendly team and provided the necessary knowledge. Thank you!
- A lot of your soul and efforts were invested in our first knowledge. We often asked questions, we didn’t understand a lot, but you tried hard to make us educated and cultured people. Thank you for the difficult journey you have made, for your patience and love for us!

Recommendations for design:
- After the header (the top of the sheet), the main text is laid out in the center of the page. If the design (drawing) of the page or the volume of text do not allow it to be placed in the center, lay it out along the left edge, or along the width.
- After the main text, the author’s signature is placed on the left edge (in this case, the author is a group of students).
- Since the letter is written on behalf of the team, names are not listed and personal signatures are not added.
- The very last entry on the page will be the date and name of the locality. The date may be shortened by leaving only the month and year, or only the year (of writing).
- If the name of the educational institution, year of graduation, letter and numeric designation of the class have already been mentioned somewhere in the text, it is permissible not to repeat this information at the place of the signature and at the end of the page (at the place of the date and name of the locality). A similar design is demonstrated in samples No. 5, No. 7, No. 10.
- The words “You”, “You”, “You” are written with a capital letter only when addressed to one person. If the text is addressed to a group of teachers, all such pronouns (“you”, “you”, “you”) are written in lowercase (small) letters.
