Expressing gratitude to parents and teachers is a way of showing appreciation and respect for the educators and parents who have contributed to our lives. Thank-you ceremonies can take place on special occasions such as Vietnamese Teachers' Day (November 20) or the end-of-year graduation ceremony. During these times, students can write letters, read thank-you messages to teachers at the end of the year, give flowers, gifts, organize parties, or participate in meaningful activities such as singing, performing arts, etc., to show their gratitude to parents and the dedicated educators who have tirelessly guided generations of students to success. Below are some of the best and most meaningful thank-you messages to parents and teachers from 12th graders, please take a look.

Creating a program script for the Gratitude and Coming-of-Age Ceremony is also a key factor in the program's success. To have a script that is interesting, comprehensive, and detailed, you can refer to the Sample Script for the Gratitude and Coming-of-Age Ceremony that Mytour shared earlier.
I. The Best Thank-You Messages to Parents
Message 1.
'Traveling all around the world, no one is as good as a mother.'
No burden in life is as heavy as that of a father.
The vast sea cannot contain a mother's love.
The sky's clouds cannot fully cover a father's merits.
From dawn to dusk, a mother nurtures her child to grow up.
Carrying the heart of a father, protecting his child's life.
This poem makes me love my parents even more now, and their actions along with this poem have helped me have more motivation to strive until today. Until this point, do you know that I have to face the two most important exams of my life? Mom and Dad, I don't promise to pass the university entrance exam, but I will try my best. As for the graduation exam, I promise to pass one hundred percent and will not disappoint you because once again I will make you proud.
Now I don't know what else to write, but there is one last thing I want to say to you, Mom and Dad, you have to live well. I will always be your good daughter no matter where I am on the journey of life, whether I stumble or not, I will always remember your sacrifice of bringing me into this world and raising me. Do you know, for eighteen years, I have never said anything, and today I want to say to you, 'Thank you so much, I love you, Mom and Dad.
Poem 2. It has been 5 months since I left the embrace of my parents to come to a completely new environment. In these 5 months, I have experienced an independent life, even though I am lazy and clumsy, always making others worry.
Thank you, Mom and Dad, for nurturing me so carefully and selflessly, thank you for giving me the opportunity to test my abilities, thank you for letting me feel the warmth of family. I'm sorry for making you worried and annoyed because of my stubbornness and foolishness.
Respected teachers! Parents! Dear students!
My name is ...., a student of class .... Today, in the solemn atmosphere of the 'graduation and gratitude for maturity' ceremony, I am honored and touched to be chosen to represent all 12th grade students to express my thoughts and feelings towards our respected parents.
First of all, I want to express my gratitude to my parents - the ones who gave me life, the first ones to welcome me into this world, and who will continue to accompany me in the coming years of my life.
Time flies, and now I am 18 years old, Mom and Dad! Eighteen years of happiness and love, eighteen years of your caring and silent affection! I am still on the journey towards my dreams. The day I mature is also the day I step away from your warm, loving embrace to stand on my own two feet. For eighteen years, your eyes and smiles have followed me on the path of growing up. The day I was born brought immense joy, shining in Mom's eyes, mixed with a deep, quiet happiness in Dad's face. You worked tirelessly day and night to raise me, showering me with endless love, not knowing how I would grow up in the challenging journey ahead. I know life is not always smooth sailing, and even though you have paved a rosy path for me, if one day life's hardships make me stumble, please don't rush to lift me up as you did in my childhood, because you taught me:
'Each fall is a lesson learned
No one grows wise without a few mistakes'
With only a short time left, I will soon enter the most important exam of my life, a turning point in my academic career and future. I will strive to study and cultivate myself well to not disappoint your hopes, Mom and Dad.
Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the teachers in the School Board who have created conditions for us to study, play, and achieve what we have today. Especially, I would like to thank our homeroom teacher and subject teachers for their dedication in guiding and nurturing our dreams. I wish for the school to continue to develop steadily. I wish for the teachers to always be healthy and youthful, to be the fire and to pass on the fire to the dreams of future generations of students. I wish for all the 12th-grade students to be strong, courageous, and confident to overcome the upcoming National High School Graduation Exam, to always believe in the path they have chosen.
Article 4. To my parents - the greatest people in my life.
Truly, parents are the heroes in my life. Because parents are the ones who give birth to us, who allow us to experience this beautiful world, who allow us to feel the warmth and affection of family love. Being born and living under the arms of parents, for me, is a kind of happiness.
These heroes always come to me whenever I face difficulties or failures. They always lend a helping hand, giving me more hope. My parents also support me in pursuing my passions, always encouraging me whenever I feel discouraged.
My parents always accompany me, teaching me how to live in this world. Their advice and teachings about living among people, how to treat others, are a solid foundation that will accompany me throughout my life.
I know the road ahead is still long, I only hope that my parents always stay healthy, safe, and have faith in this little child. My parents are the greatest people in my life, the ones who sincerely love me. I'm sorry for the times I made you unhappy, sad.
Article 5. Nothing can measure the love that a mother has for her child. I remember when I was sick, my mother carried me nearly 15km with bare feet to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment when I had appendicitis.
During these days, rain or shine, my mother has endured all difficulties and hardships, sacrificing everything for me, so that I can be happy and not lag behind my friends.
My joy of going to school has been exchanged for the wrinkles on my mother's face, which appear more and more each day. The lines of worry are deeply engraved in her eyes, making my heart tighten.
In the upcoming high school graduation exams, I will strive to achieve the highest results to repay the immense sacrifices my mother has made for me. It's late now, so I will end my letter here. In closing, I wish my mother will always be healthy to live by my side forever. I love you, Mom, very much!
A short and heartfelt tribute to parents
II. Short and Grateful Tributes to 12th Grade Teachers
Article 1. The final year of high school has come to an end, marking a moment filled with emotions. We have experienced so many ups and downs, so many memorable moments over the past 3 years. I remember the fun classes, the jokes with friends, and the times we worked together to overcome difficult tests. Those memories will always be cherished in my mind.
We would like to send our deepest gratitude to all the teachers, hoping that the sounds of our gratitude will echo with you forever, giving you more motivation and confidence in your teaching career.
Article 2. During his lifetime, Uncle Ho once said: 'A good teacher, a worthy teacher is the most glorious teacher. Even if their name is not in the newspapers, not awarded medals, good teachers are unsung heroes....'
And those unsung heroes are the 'Flowers in Uncle Ho's garden,' spreading fragrance, building lives, through small, humble deeds in everyday life.
On Vietnamese Teachers' Day, I send my heartfelt wishes to all teachers. I wish that all teachers, whether from the plains or the mountains, whether young or old, whether in rural or urban areas, always stay healthy, peaceful, and forever respected as the honorable teachers of many generations.
Article 3. The teacher, quietly walking to and from school early in the morning
Every day, drops of sweat blur the pages
To me, to the shore of dreams...
Another Teacher's Day has come, Vietnamese Teachers' Day on November 20th, and my heart is filled with indescribable emotions. November 20th is a day of gratitude, where teachers receive the love of society and the sincere affection of us, their students. We wish you, teachers, endless health and even greater success in your noble mission of educating. We promise to always be obedient, good students, to obey you and our parents, to ease your burdens of work and daily life. Let us echo the lyrics of the song 'Teacher'
Once again, I wish you, teachers, everlasting health, happiness, and continued success in your noble mission of educating!
Article 4. The great contribution of teachers, we don't know how to repay? We know that there have been times when we have made you, teachers, sad, unhappy. We promise to study even harder to somehow make up for our mistakes.
Article 5. As a student of School..., I am always proud to be a student of teachers who are 'ageless,' always youthful, always energetic, thereby creating a lively learning environment, a friendly educational environment.
A gratitude article for teachers on graduation day, meaningful
Article 6. Perhaps you, teacher, do not remember me among the thousands of students, but I still remember every facial expression of yours when you taught. Your lessons are precious baggage for me to confidently walk the path of life.
Once again, I wish you, teacher, everlasting health, happiness, and continued success in your noble mission of educating!
Article 7. Perhaps I am not a good student, perhaps I have not succeeded as you hoped, but at least I have tried to fulfill my responsibilities according to your teachings. Whether tomorrow or the day after, you will always be a shining example for the naive student to follow.
Article 8. Proud and touched by the achievements and contributions of the teachers, we send our deepest gratitude to our second parents, wishing the teachers always youthful to forever be the most intimate and loving guides for all students.
Article 9. Another school year is coming to an end. And now, as I write these lines, it is also the time when we are about to leave the school desks, away from teachers, friends, away from the beloved school... to step onto a completely new path in life. I silently thank the graduating year for giving me the opportunity to send these words of gratitude to the teachers, friends, to this beloved school.
I express deep gratitude from nearly 1000 students, and especially from... 12th-grade students, to the teachers. We know that the educational journey ahead is full of difficulties and challenges, but we are very confident because we have been nurtured by the teachers to enrich our intellect, to enrich our compassion - the most important qualities of every human being.
Article 10. Dear teachers!
Three school years have passed with many dear memories. Today, seeing friends passing around the autograph book, I can't help but startle. The farewell moment has come as fast as the wind, carrying with it so much nostalgia. My heart suddenly tightens. Where are the friends who studied together for 3 years, where are the figures of teachers, the ones who guided my first steps, nurtured my dreams to fly far, far away?
It feels like just yesterday when I entered school amidst the warm and tolerant welcome of the teachers, but now it has become a memory. Throughout 3 years of study, teachers have taught us many valuable lessons, instilled in us the inspiration for learning and the will to strive in life. During those four years, we made many mistakes, disappointments for the teachers. Now looking back, I feel extremely regretful. Because like my classmates, I also want to leave the most beautiful memories in the hearts of the teachers.
Today, on the... day of... month, year 20..., at the schoolyard..., the school year-end review is taking place with great solemnity, excitement, and eagerness. I would like to express my deepest, most sincere gratitude to the teachers - the ones who guided us through the river of knowledge; the ones who enlightened dreams, hopes for generations of students, including our class today. On behalf of my classmates, I also express gratitude to our parents - the ones who gave birth and nurtured us along with the teachers. We will always remember the immense contributions of the teachers, parents to our lives.
Expressing gratitude is not always easy, it's difficult to say 'I love you, Mom and Dad' or 'We love and respect you, teachers.' Instead of words, articles expressing gratitude to parents and teachers will convey the appreciation and emotions you want to convey to those you respect.
On graduation day or the last days of school, don't forget to write down the most impressive words to each other to preserve beautiful memories and hold onto something before 'turning over a new leaf.' Also, prepare a beautiful notebook for friends and teachers to write memorable messages. Surely, this will be a beautiful memory that you will cherish forever.
