Tongyeong Elementary prepared a program called ‘Squeeze? YES!’ and broadcasted interview videos with several teachers at school during the morning assembly from the 8th to the 9th.

On the 10th, a carnation card-making event was held where students folded paper themselves to create cards.

On the morning of the 12th, all students placed stickers inside the letters of the phrase ‘We love you, teachers,’ and during the ‘Writing Words of Thanks’ event, they expressed their feelings for teachers on post-it notes.

The ‘We Deliver on Your Behalf’ event, which involved sending letters to teachers no longer working at Tongyeong Elementary, was also popular.

A representative from Tongyeong Elementary said, “We hope this event became an opportunity for our students to directly express the respect they usually hold for their teachers and to internalize the virtue of gratitude.”
