The school year is slowly coming to an end. Bulletin boards are disappearing from classroom walls, textbooks are closing, and everyone is starting to think about the holidays. But before the classrooms finally empty out, it's a good time to stop for a moment and thank those who have guided, supported, and inspired you all year long – your teachers.
It's a nice tradition to express gratitude at the end of the school year. Whether it's with a word, a card, a short letter, or just a smile. Teachers give much more than just knowledge - they give time, energy, and often a piece of themselves. And that deserves recognition.
We have prepared 30 beautiful end-of-year greetings for you - divided by school level - that you can use as inspiration.
1st grade elementary school – Teachers with big hearts
This is where it all begins. The first letters, the first mistakes, the first successes. Teachers in primary school are often the first guides for children outside the family – and they carry out this role with love, patience and immense understanding.

2nd grade of elementary school – Teachers who shape us
The second phase of elementary school is often full of change – students are maturing rapidly, asking questions, testing boundaries. Teachers during this period are often the ones who guide us through a time of self-discovery.

Thank you for teaching us to think for ourselves. It wasn't all about facts - it was also about attitudes and values.

Your classes weren't just about the curriculum. They were about life, collaboration, and finding your own perspective.

May summer be a time for you to gain strength, peace, and new inspiration.
Secondary Schools – Teachers Who Prepare for Life
High school is no longer just about the curriculum – it's about decisions, character, direction. Teachers become mentors who have a huge influence on shaping young people.
