Teacher’s Day is something special that gives us a chance to consider the priceless roles that teachers have played in influencing society. This year’s Teacher’s Day was celebrated at the College of Tourism and Hotel Management (COTHM) with more than the customary gifts of gratitude.
We blended appreciation, joy, and happiness by combining the celebrations with World Smile Day. This celebration was meant to spread joy and positivity in our community while also honoring our hardworking teachers.
Teaching is more than simply sharing knowledge. At COTHM, our teachers spend their time and energy shaping the next generation of professionals, acting as mentors, guides, and role models. On this Teacher’s Day, we came together to celebrate their passion, dedication, and hard work.
Students, teachers, and staff gathered for a heartfelt ceremony to express their gratitude, marking the start of the celebration. Each teacher received a token of appreciation along with handwritten notes from students, highlighting the impact they’ve had on their lives. Students shared how their teachers had inspired them both in and out of the classroom, creating an emotional and touching moment.
This year’s Teacher’s Day at COTHM was extra special because it was connected to World Smile Day, a global event that promotes kindness and positivity. The idea of combining the two celebrations was simple but powerful: along with thanking our teachers for their hard work and dedication, we also focused on spreading joy and happiness throughout the day. After all, smiles are contagious, and what better way to celebrate than by sharing happiness with everyone?
Students and faculty were encouraged to join in activities that spread happiness. The campus was filled with positive energy, with people organizing random acts of kindness and exchanging compliments. A photo booth was set up where teachers and students could take group photos, creating lasting memories full of smiles and laughter. The pictures, decorated with cheerful stickers, were later made into a collage displayed in the main hall, symbolizing the unity and joy shared by the COTHM community.
By celebrating Teacher’s Day alongside Smile Day, COTHM hosted a wonderful event filled with love, gratitude, and joy. This special combination not only honored our teachers’ dedication but also helped strengthen the bond within our community.
Though simple, a smile has a powerful impact. It can lift spirits, inspire kindness, and strengthen relationships. This year’s Teacher’s Day reminded us that while education is essential, so are the happiness and positivity that come with it. As we continue our journey at COTHM, we carry forward the lessons of gratitude and joy, spreading smiles wherever we go.
Let’s remember that every day can be a Smile Day if we choose to share kindness and gratitude with those around us. Happy Teacher’s Day and let’s keep smiling!
