Tribute to Teachers

Please allow me to begin my spoken tribute to our teachers with

these lines: “Teachers are God’s gift to students. Students are God’s
gift to teachers. Teachers and students are God’s gift to mankind,
and civilization.” Without teachers and students there will be no
progress, no future to dream for. Teachers pass on knowledge to
students and students pass on knowledge to students and so on.
Today, we pay tribute to our teachers who made civilization, who
gave us knowledge of things we don’t know before, who
transformed us to become more knowledgeable persons that we are
now, who shaped and molded us to become better models of the
future.

Our teachers are more than just educators. For they hold a noble
profession. They play many roles in a student’s life – the role of a
mentor, friend, advisor or councilor, and parent. They are the
guiding force in our life even after we have passed the portals of
this institution and stepped into the world of realities and
challenges. Our teachers are always there to hold the light that will
guide us through our successes, and even our failures in life. Our
teachers were always there when we needed them. They stood by
us and gave a helping hand in our difficult times. They understood
us and they never turned their back when we needed their guidance
and understanding.

We, the students of Lavigan National High School, would like to

honour you, our teachers, for all that you have done for us. You
have always been there when we needed you most. You have never
failed us in any way. You have accepted our failings with good
humour. You have always forgiven us our many wrongs. You have
never turned away anyone who sought your help. You have never
begrudged us your grey hairs.

Teachers, we will never forget your love and concern for us. In
behalf of the graduating class 2018-2019, we wish to honor you for
all the wonderful things that you have done, truly you are God’s
great gift to us students, next to our parents. You have given us
knowledge that we now make use of as we travel through life’s
complexities. We thank you for this knowledge because it made us
stronger, more determined, and ready to accept and face life’s
challenges. Finally, in behalf of all the students and parents of
Lavigan National High School, we wish to thank you dear teachers
from the bottom of our hearts for your love, guidance, concern,
understanding, patience, effort and dedication to your work, as
great educators of Lavigan National high School.

May the almighty God shower you with great wisdom and more
blessings in your life.
