How to write a thank you speech

With a short thank you speech sample and a printable planner

By:  Susan Dugdale  

A thank you speech or appreciation speech prepared and given with sincerity means a lot to those you acknowledge.

Dive right in. There's all the assistance you need on this page to write an excellent speech of thanks.

What you'll find on this page

• the types of occasions it could be good to have a thank you speech ready to give
• best practice and content suggestions to guide you step by step through writing a short thank you speech
• a short  sample thank you speech for an award (and a link to an example thank you speech for a 18th birthday party)
• a printable thank you speech planner to download
• links to thank you quotations you may like to use
• notes covering rehearsal and delivery   

'No man is an island'

When we achieve, we usually do so because others have helped. Your speech of appreciation is the gift or acknowledgment you give in return for what was given you.

When is a thank you speech appropriate?

Any time is good to say thank you! However, a more formal speech of thanks could fit any of these occasions.

• for coming to my graduation, farewell, birthday, or retirement party
• for the promotion
• for the award
• for coming to our wedding and your gifts, our engagement party, our 50th wedding anniversary
• for coming to the opening of my new business...

Be prepared! Best practice guidelines

Generally the decision to leap to your feet and give a thank you speech is not spontaneous. You will likely have some forewarning and time to consider exactly what you want to say and who you want to mention.

Deciding on the content

Cover these three content areas and you'll be fine.

• WHO are you thanking? Note their names in ranking order- the most important first.
• WHAT are you thanking them for? Be specific rather than general. Naming what you are grateful for gives your thanks more meaning.
• WHAT did their gift of time, expertise, encouragement, money... mean to you? Again, be specific. This is your chance to publicly give credit where it's due, to compliment, to praise. Take it.

Writing your speech

When you've sorted out who you wish to mention and what for, you are ready to begin writing.

Like any other form of speech you need 3 parts:- an opening, the body or middle where you put all your acknowledgments, and a conclusion.

1. Introduction/opening

In your introduction or opening give the reason for the occasion and why it is you're going to thank everyone. What you say, and how you say it, will set the tone for the remainder of the speech.

Depending on the number of people on your 'thank you/appreciation' list and the amount of time you have, consider including a small story about the lead-up making this event possible. A well-chosen personal anecdote will always go down well because it lets those listening share your experience more deeply.

Check out this page on story telling in speeches for more information.

In the body of your speech, start at the top of your list of people to thank and work your way through it. Take care to give the most important people the most time.

For those whom you want to mention but don't have enough time to make individual acknowledgments consider grouping them according to function.

Example: "To Alex, Mary, Judy and Sam, thank you for making me remember to laugh. You helped me keep my sanity and perspective when the going was tough."

3. Conclusion

In the conclusion, summarize your main points and finish.

A short thank you speech sample 

Here's a short example thank you speech for you to see how it could be done. There are many ways covering the required content. This is just one.

The person giving this speech is thanking an organization for giving him an award. 

It is 374 words long. When spoken it will take approximately 2 minutes + to deliver. That's about the right length. It's brief and covers everything needed.

As you read it through imagine hearing it out loud. 

Speech text

"Who's considered the incredible power and range of meaning in 'thank you'?  Those two words express gratitude, humility, understanding, as well as acknowledgement.

I am here with you: my family, many of my friends and colleagues because I need to say all of that, and then some more.

Thank you for coming to share my being given the Fred Smith Award for Community Service. It's very humbling.

There's a phrase I'm sure you know: it takes a village to raise a child. In this case it's not a child that's been raised but awareness and a long-needed community resource - the  Parksville Community Literacy Center.  The village behind it and me, is you.

In particular, thank you to my wife Marlene who has always understood and shared my conviction that communities are healthiest when its resources are equally shared, and that the ability to read underpins long term social and economic wellbeing.

I know the hours I spent after work helping to establish our new Center tested her, especially when I was home late, again.

Remarkably she continues to support, and love me.  For that I will always be grateful.

Mary Hill, Catherine Beech and Matthew Fall from the Fred Smith Foundation – thank you for sharing the vision of an integrated community and for being so incredibly supportive. You understood what we were trying to achieve and helped make it possible. Your generous gifts of time, expertise and funds are deeply appreciated.

This award may have my name on it, but in truth it belongs to everybody who has worked to make the center a reality. Have you got a spare day or two? If I called out all those people we'd be here for quite some time! Instead, I'll simply say thank you. You know who you are.

The time and effort you've given ensures that the Parksville people who want it will have access to effective literacy programs and resources. That is a priceless gift.  As Nobel Peace Prize winner former UN Secretary General, Kofi Annan said “Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope.”

Thank you for the award and thank you on behalf of all those who will cross that bridge to a brighter future." 

Here's another example. This one is a thank you speech for a birthday . The speaker is thanking their parents and guests for the celebration in honor of their 18th birthday. 

Thanks but NO thanks!

What I really need is a Thanksgiving Speech!

And it's here. Choose a theme. Complete the template. And give your Thanksgiving Speech with confidence.

Use a quotation to help show your gratitude

They offer different ways of expressing your gratitude. You could find just what you need to spark your creativity and provide the thread/theme to unite your speech. It can be so much more than a long string of thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you ...

Tips to help you get your thank you speech right

Rehearsal, practice and feedback.

Many people make the assumption that once they've got the words of their speech sorted, they're set to go.

That's not true! Practice completes the process.

Giving yourself several  rehearsals, firstly by yourself and then in front of  friends or family, will help enormously. Click the link for detailed information about  how to rehearse effectively .

For the condensed and shortened version covering good rehearsal practice follow the points below.

1. Content check

Before investing too much time and energy into rehearsing your speech say it through in front of a few trusted friends or colleagues.  It is much, much easier to change text prior to practicing it than after you've begun working with it. Ask them to listen:

• to make sure you've included everyone you should, in the right order and thanked them for the right things.
• for tone. Does the vocabulary fit the occasion? Are the stories right? Is the speech positive? Is it inclusive?

Edit as needed, and then have your test audience listen again. 

Getting the timing right is an essential part of making it a success. Go on too long and people stop listening. Be too brief and there's a danger you've missed things out.

The only way to find out how long your speech is, is to time yourself as you say it out loud at a normal speaking rate. If it's too long, look for areas you can cut. Maybe you need to group a few  more people together or perhaps you need to shorten some of the specific examples about why it is you're thanking someone.  If it's too short, add more detail.  Repeat until you get the length right.

If you'd like to check the number of words you have in your speech against how many minutes it will take to say them go to: how many words per minute are there in a speech .

3. Use cue cards

If you're at all worried about forgetting things, losing your place or muddling what you want to say, use cue cards. They'll take the anxiety away.

Write the main points of your thank you speech on cue cards. Good notes will keep you on track while ensuring you cover everything you want to like, for instance, the name of every person you want to thank and why.

(Click the link if you don't know about using or how to make cue cards . Cue cards are preferable to reading your speech.

However sometimes you just have to read because...for all sorts of reasons. If that's you, do it well. Find out how to read a speech effectively .)

Are you sweating over a business thank you speech?

One thanking your colleagues for a job well done?

Thanksgiving Speech: Thanksgiving is a public holiday in many Christian countries, such as the USA, Canada, Germany, Brazil, etc., and is mostly celebrated in October or November.

Express gratitude and honor

Showing gratitude is key in a thank you speech. I learned this both from my own experiences and while crafting the ultimate guide on giving thank you speeches. It’s about honoring those who’ve supported, encouraged, or helped us reach our goals.

In every thank you speech, it’s crucial to acknowledge these individuals sincerely and specifically.

I start by greeting the audience warmly before expressing genuine appreciation for the honor or opportunity given to me. Sharing personal stories makes my gratitude more impactful, connecting with my audience on an emotional level.

By thanking specific people for their unique contributions, I show true acknowledgment and respect for their support and encouragement in my journey.

Understanding the Purpose of a Thank You Speech

Understanding the Purpose of a Thank You Speech is essential. It’s about acknowledging the audience and connecting the gesture to a bigger picture.

Acknowledge the audience

Starting your thank you speech by acknowledging the audience sets a welcoming tone . You show them their presence matters. Say something like, “I’m thrilled to see so many familiar faces here today.” This makes everyone feel included and important right from the start.

You must also recognize the effort people made to attend . Mention, “Your support by just being here is greatly appreciated.” It instantly connects you with your listeners , making your words more impactful.

Acknowledging the audience isn’t just polite; it’s crucial for making your speech memorable and engaging.

Connect the gesture and reward to a bigger picture

When expressing gratitude, connect the gesture of thanks to a bigger purpose or impact . Show how the act of thanking someone is part of a larger cycle of kindness and support in our lives.

By linking the gesture and reward to a wider context , such as the impact on your work, relationships, or community, you create a more meaningful and resonant thank you speech that goes beyond simple words of appreciation.

Now let’s dive into how to write an impactful thank you speech for different occasions.

How to Write a Thank You Speech

Identify who to thank

When crafting a thank you speech, it’s crucial to identify everyone who deserves appreciation. This includes colleagues, friends and family members , as well as any other supporters or benefactors .

Acknowledging their contributions is an important part of delivering a meaningful thank you speech that truly expresses gratitude. Now let’s delve into reflecting on what you are thanking them for in the next section.

Reflect on what you are thanking them for

In my thank you speech, I reflect on the reasons for expressing gratitude . It’s essential to articulate why we are thankful, whether it’s for support during a difficult time or acknowledgement of hard work and dedication.

This provides depth and sincerity to the expression of appreciation. By reflecting on what we are thanking them for, we ensure that our gratitude is specific and heartfelt , making it more meaningful for both the speaker and the audience .

By thoughtfully considering what we’re thanking others for, we can craft a genuine message that resonates with our listeners.

Now, let’s talk about why it’s important to express the significance of the gifts or support you’ve received. When acknowledging someone’s contribution , it’s crucial to explain how their help made a difference.

This helps them understand the impact they’ve had and reinforces your gratitude . By highlighting the value of their support, you show sincerity and deepen your connection with your audience.

It also adds depth to your speech and makes it more meaningful for both you and your supporters.

Remember, expressing the significance of their gifts or support can elevate your thank you speech from a simple acknowledgment to a heartfelt recognition that resonates with everyone involved.

Delivering a Thank You Speech

Prepare and practice for a successful delivery . Read on to learn more about tips for delivering a thank you speech!

Preparation and practice

To prepare for delivering a thank you speech, I recommend practicing in front of a mirror or recording yourself to improve your delivery. Start by preparing an outline with key points and practice speaking naturally without memorizing every word.

Remember to focus on maintaining good eye contact , using positive body language, and managing any nervousness through controlled breathing . Additionally, rehearse in the actual setting if possible to get comfortable with the space and equipment you’ll be using during your speech.

After preparation comes practice; this is where confidence grows. Aim for clarity and articulate speech by slowly pronouncing each word while keeping a steady pace. Practice expressing gratitude sincerely and avoid rushing through your words during the real thing.

Tips for a successful delivery

After thorough preparation and practice, it’s time to focus on delivering your thank you speech. Maintain good posture and make eye contact with the audience to establish a connection.

Speak clearly and at a moderate pace so everyone can follow along without feeling rushed or bored. Engage your audience by using expressive gestures and varying your tone of voice to emphasize key points.

Remember to breathe and take pauses when necessary – this allows for impactful delivery while maintaining composure.

How to Write a Wonderful Thanksgiving Toast: Ideas and Examples

Last updated on August 11, 2023 - © Free-Sample-Letter.com

The Significance of a Thanksgiving Speech

Thanksgiving is more than just a feast; it's a time-honored tradition of pausing to reflect on the blessings that fill our lives. Giving a speech on this special day is a heartfelt way to articulate our gratitude , connecting with family and friends, and verbalizing what we’re most thankful for.

Thanksgiving speeches not only bridge generations and bring communities closer but also allow us to acknowledge and honor the people who have enriched our lives with kindness and generosity. This tradition serves as an opportunity to also appreciate ourselves, considering the challenges we've overcome, the personal growth we've experienced, and the goals we've achieved throughout the year. Gratitude is a gift, and there is no better way to express it than by saying thank you and sharing our feelings with those we love.

Crafting a Memorable Thanksgiving Toast: Essential Writing Tips

Creating a Thanksgiving toast that resonates with your audience requires attention to certain key elements. Here's how you can make your speech stand out :

Keep It Concise

While there’s much to be thankful for, it's best to keep your toast brief and poignant, typically no longer than a few minutes. Your words should encapsulate the essence of gratitude without overstaying their welcome.

Express Genuine Gratitude

Be specific in acknowledging what you're thankful for. Whether it’s your health, family, friends, or personal accomplishments, articulating these thoughts will make your toast more heartfelt. Example: "I am so grateful for the unwavering support of my family, the good health we enjoy, and the community that surrounds us".

Include Personal Anecdotes

Sharing personal stories or memorable moments can add depth and personality to your speech. Reflect on joyful or touching memories that encapsulate the spirit of Thanksgiving for you and those around you.

Use Positive Language

Focus on the bright side of life, emphasizing the positive and avoiding any negative undertones. Express gratitude for what you have, appreciating the richness of your life even if it isn't perfect. Example: "While life has its challenges, I find joy in the simple things and am truly thankful for the love and warmth that fill my days."

Connect with Your Audience

Aim to touch the hearts of those listening. Your words should resonate with them, creating a collective sense of appreciation and community. Speak from the heart, and don’t be afraid to show emotion.

Practice Makes Perfect

Rehearse your speech to ensure a smooth delivery. Familiarity with what you're going to say helps you speak more naturally and confidently, making your message even more impactful.

Your Thanksgiving toast is more than just words; it's an expression of love, gratitude, and the shared values that bind us together. With these tips, you can craft a speech that not only honors this tradition but also leaves a lasting impression on those you hold dear.

Inspiring Words for Thanksgiving Day – A Speech Sample Easy to Adapt

Example of a sincere thanksgiving speech.

Well, I would like to say a few words if I may. We are all here today, friends and family, to give thanks as our forefathers did so long ago. This yearly tradition is one of my favorites because it brings us all together, makes us stop our daily lives to spend the (afternoon) together over some good food, some good wine and lots of good company!

We are all so busy with our daily lives, our jobs, our friends and loved ones, that there are not that many occasions that we get, to get together as a family, but this is one of them and it's my favorite one!

It’s one of those holidays we love to prepare as a team and chip in with our different recipes and add-ins that we each want to include to make the meal that extra little bit more special!

So today, with us all gathered here, I hope that we can make it through the day without any major arguments...Thanksgiving seems to bring out the best in us, whether it is because we have all come together and aren't used to each other's intense company or that we are all just simply hungry! I like to think that the reason for misunderstandings on Thanksgiving is just because we are all so hungry! ...Right?!

So on that note,...as we are all very hungry, with all those great smells coming out of the kitchen and great dishes already laid out before us in this wonderful spread on the table, we need to shift our focus to enjoy the meaning of this holiday!

So before we dig in, dear family of mine, thank you for this day, thank you for each other, thank you for making this day what it is and thank you for all of you just being you!

Happy Thanksgiving!

A Basic Thanksgiving Toast for Friends and Family

Good evening everyone, and a very happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

I am so grateful that we have the opportunity to come together today and celebrate this special holiday. As I pause to reflect on all the things I am thankful for in my life, the first thought that comes to mind is my family and friends. The love and support they have shown me throughout the years is something that I will always cherish.

I am also grateful for my health and all the wonderful experiences I have had in life. Every day I wake up feeling blessed to be alive and to have so many opportunities in front of me. But above all, I am thankful for the little things: for the warm sunshine, for the rain that nourishes our land, and for the warm meal on the table.

So let us raise our glasses today to give thanks to all those who bring joy and meaning into our lives. Thank you, and cheers to a blessed Thanksgiving!

A Thanksgiving Tribute to Teachers and Educators

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today, as we gather around with our families and loved ones to celebrate Thanksgiving, we are compelled to reflect on the things we are most grateful for. Among the many blessings in our lives, I wish to dedicate this moment to recognize a group of individuals who possess a quiet yet profound influence on our lives and the lives of our children: our teachers and educators.

These are the people who walk into classrooms every day, armed not with just books and lesson plans, but with a passion to ignite curiosity, a commitment to nurturing minds, and a love for inspiring the hearts of the young ones they serve.

Teachers are the architects of our future, shaping the minds that will one day lead us, invent new technologies, cure diseases, and write the poems that will stir our souls. They are not merely imparting knowledge; they are building character, instilling values, and planting the seeds of empathy, resilience, and understanding.

This Thanksgiving, let us pause and give thanks to the educators who have gone the extra mile to help a struggling student, who have stayed late to grade papers, who have spent their own money on supplies, and who have wept with joy at the success of their students.

To those who have taught our children to read, to question, to calculate, and to dream, we owe a debt of gratitude. For it is not only the lessons in mathematics, literature, or science that they impart, but the life lessons of perseverance, kindness, and integrity.

To every teacher who has ever felt overwhelmed or undervalued, know this: Your work is the foundation of all professions. Your dedication creates opportunities, your patience fosters growth, and your guidance leads to success.

In this season of gratitude, let us raise our glasses to our teachers and educators. For your unending passion, your tireless efforts, and your unwavering belief in the potential of every child, we say: Thank you.

May your Thanksgiving be filled with the love, joy, and respect you so richly deserve, and may we continue to support and appreciate you, not just on this special day but throughout the year.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the educators out there! Your work makes the world a better place, one student at a time. Thank you!

A Thanksgiving Toast to Employees and Colleagues: Celebrating Teamwork

Ladies and Gentlemen, Colleagues and Friends,

As we gather around this table to celebrate Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to reflect on the year behind us and express my profound gratitude to each and every one of you.

In the fast-paced world of business, it's easy to get caught up in deadlines, meetings, and targets. But today, we set aside our laptops and spreadsheets, and we come together as a team to celebrate something that's equally important: our shared success and the bonds that hold us together.

When I look around this room, I don't just see colleagues; I see a family. A family that laughs together, works together, faces challenges together, and most importantly, succeeds together.

Each of you, in your unique way, has contributed to where we stand today. Whether it's the late nights, the innovative ideas, the unwavering support, or the cheerful smiles on Monday mornings, every little effort has shaped our collective achievements.

So today, let's toast to the team that doesn't just work for the company but works for each other. Let's toast to the milestones we've reached and the mountains we'll conquer. Let's toast to the failures that taught us and the successes that motivated us.

Let's also take a moment to recognize those who support us outside of work, our families and friends, who give us the strength to give our best every day.

In this season of gratitude, I am thankful for this incredible team. I'm thankful for the culture we've built, the friendships we've formed, and the growth we've experienced together.

As we enjoy this meal and the company of those around us, let's remember that the essence of Thanksgiving lies in appreciating one another and recognizing the blessings in our lives.

Here's to us, to our unwavering spirit, to our collaboration, and to the bright future ahead.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Thank you for everything you do, and cheers to continued success!

Thanksgiving Salute to the Military: Honoring Dedication, Service and Sacrifice

Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Citizens,

Today, as we gather around festive tables with friends and family to give thanks for the many blessings we enjoy, let us not forget those who are far from home, those who stand on the front lines to protect our freedom and way of life. I stand before you to extend a heartfelt salute to the members of our military, whose unwavering dedication deserves our deepest gratitude.

In this season of thanks, we pause to reflect on the sacrifices made by our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coastguardsmen. They endure long separations from loved ones, face dangers we cannot even begin to comprehend, and commit themselves to a calling higher than self.

We are here today, able to celebrate in peace and security, thanks to their vigilance and courage. They are a symbol of what is best in our nation, living the values of honor, duty, and commitment every day.

To our brave men and women in uniform, and to their families who support them, we send our heartfelt thanks. We recognize that our mere words cannot match the magnitude of your sacrifice, but we hope that our thoughts, prayers, and appreciation reach you, wherever you may be serving.

To those who have served in the past, we honor your legacy and thank you for laying the foundation upon which our present-day heroes stand. Your service continues to inspire new generations to answer the call.

On this Thanksgiving, let us all commit to not only uttering words of thanks but to showing our gratitude through actions. Let's reach out to military families in our communities, let's send care packages, write letters, and make sure that our gratitude is felt.

In closing, I propose a toast to our armed forces. Here's to the brave souls who patrol the seas, march on the ground, and soar through the skies. Here's to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and to the families who bear the weight of loss.

May this Thanksgiving remind us all of the extraordinary gift of freedom and the extraordinary people who ensure it.

Happy Thanksgiving to our military members, their families, and to all of you here. May we never take for granted the sacrifices made on our behalf.

Thank you, and God bless our troops and our great nation.

A Heartfelt Thanksgiving Tribute to Caregivers and Healthcare Professionals

Today, we gather to celebrate a very special Thanksgiving. As we count our blessings, we must pause to acknowledge a group of people whose compassion, resilience, and dedication have touched our lives in profound ways – our healthcare professionals and caregivers.

In a world that has seen immense challenges, where uncertainty and fear have become common emotions, these extraordinary individuals have become symbols of hope and healing. They are not just treating illnesses; they are nurturing spirits, holding hands, and providing comfort in times of need.

Doctors, nurses, therapists, home health aides, family caregivers – each one of you has made a commitment to care that goes beyond mere duty. You've chosen a path that demands everything you have, every single day, without pause, without complaint.

You've worked long hours, often putting your own health and family aside to ensure that others receive the attention and care they need. Your selfless acts have not gone unnoticed, and on this day, we stand to honor and thank you.

To the family caregivers, who juggle work, home, and the extraordinary responsibility of caring for a loved one, we see your sacrifice, and we applaud your love and dedication. You are the unsung heroes, providing comfort and normality in the most challenging of circumstances.

To our healthcare professionals, who faced unprecedented challenges and worked relentlessly to keep us safe, we are in awe of your strength and expertise. You've been a beacon of light in dark times, and your efforts have saved countless lives.

We know that words can never fully express the gratitude we feel, but we hope that our appreciation resonates in our actions. Let us not just say thank you; let us show our thanks by supporting our healthcare workers, by being patient, by following their guidance, and by recognizing their humanity.

Let us commit to understanding, empathy, and kindness, for these are the virtues that you, our dear caregivers and healthcare professionals, embody every single day.

So, here's to you – the healers, the nurturers, the caregivers. May you find in our gratitude the strength to continue your noble work. May you also find time for yourselves, to rejuvenate, to be cared for, and to feel the warmth of the appreciation that surrounds you.

Thank you, from the depths of our hearts. Happy Thanksgiving, and may you always know how much you mean to us all.

A Journey Through Time: The Historical Essence of Thanksgiving

The story of Thanksgiving begins in 1621 when the Pilgrims, who had sailed to the New World on the Mayflower, celebrated their first successful harvest in Plymouth, Massachusetts. They were joined by the Wampanoag people, who had helped them survive that harsh first winter and taught them how to cultivate the land.

This three-day feast was not called Thanksgiving at the time, but it laid the foundation for a custom that would evolve and spread across the burgeoning nation.

During the American Revolution, Thanksgiving observances were held, but they were sporadic and varied by region. It was President George Washington who proclaimed the first national day of Thanksgiving in 1789. However, it wasn't until 1863, amidst the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday, to be celebrated on the last Thursday in November.

But what is Thanksgiving? Is it merely a date on a calendar, a sumptuous meal, a gathering of family and friends? Or is it something more profound?

Thanksgiving, at its core, is a universal human expression of gratitude. It's a time to reflect on the bounty and blessings of the year, a moment to acknowledge those who have helped us, guided us, and stood by us.

Over time, the way we celebrate Thanksgiving has changed, influenced by cultural shifts and commercial interests. Yet, the heart of this holiday remains unaltered. It's a time to come together, to put aside differences, to share, and to give thanks.

As we look around our world today, we see that the need for gratitude and unity is as vital as ever. In an age of division and uncertainty, Thanksgiving reminds us of our shared humanity, our interconnectedness, and our capacity for kindness and compassion.

So, as we enjoy our Thanksgiving feast, let's remember the lessons of history. Let's honor the Native Americans who shared their knowledge and resources. Let's reflect on the strength and resilience that has shaped our nation. And let's embrace the spirit of gratitude that binds us all.

May this Thanksgiving be not just a reflection of our past but an inspiration for our future. Let it be a day where we acknowledge our blessings, reach out to one another, and cultivate a spirit of thankfulness that endures all year long.

Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

20 Thanksgiving Toast & Speech Ideas That Actually Aren’t Cheesy

Exactly what to say if you're at a loss for words.

Ah, Thanksgiving. Typically a time to gather with family and friends to engage in merriment and passive-aggressive squabbles. Some people celebrate with family members they don’t see often, others get together with a smaller crew, and some sign on to Zoom for the occasion. But one thing that can be a party of your holiday no matter how you celebrate? The tradition of the Thanksgiving toast. If this year has you feeling less than thankful, these Thanksgiving toast and speech ideas will help provide you with plenty to say if you get nominated to give a Thanksgiving toast.

Regardless of how you'll be celebrating this year — your usual big family party, trying out a solo holiday dinner , hosting a Zoom Thanksgiving for a handful of friends or family — one thing is for sure: Thanksgiving is never dull. Even if 2022 wasn’t your favorite year, there is always something to be grateful for. This isn't to say you need to go full toxic positivity . But taking a small moment to recognize the things that got you through the year — whether that's friends, family, your pets, or Postmates — can feel kind of good. If you're at a loss for words this year, these 15 Thanksgiving toast and speech ideas will have you covered.

1. Express Your Love For Food, Family, & Friends

2. Thanksgiving With Friends Toast

If you’re making a speech during your Friendsgiving, try this quote about friendship from Marilyn Monroe. "... Always remember your friends will be there quicker than your family. Learn to remember you got great friends, don't forget that and they will always care for you no matter what. Always remember to smile and look up at what you got in life.”

3. Love & Kindness Toast

Lady Gaga is always good for quotes about love, tolerance, and kindness — which are relevant themes for Thanksgiving, and the double meaning of feeding your family and friends and feeding the community is perfect. Try this quote of hers about acceptance: "I believe in a passion for inclusion... I think tolerance and acceptance and love is something that feeds every community ... You can try to find something beautiful in every single person, no matter what."

This excerpt from Ralph Waldo Emerson’s We Thank Thee is a simple but effective Thanksgiving toast.

For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food, for love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends .

8. Acknowledging The Good Toast

Author Sarah Ban Breathnach’s quote on gratitude is a great reminder for the table. “Real life isn’t always going to be perfect or go our way, but the recurring acknowledgment of what is working in our lives can help us not only to survive but surmount our difficulties.”

9. Take Note Of What Unites Us All: Food

If your Thanksgiving crew is there for the food and the food only, let this Nora Ephron quote be heard loud and clear. "The turkey. The sweet potatoes. The stuffing. The pumpkin pie. Is there anything else we all can agree so vehemently about? I don’t think so.”

10. Lift Each Other Up Toast

If you’re getting over a tough year, try this uplifting line Christopher Robin said to Winnie the Pooh as your Thanksgiving toast: " You are braver than you believe , stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."

11. Show Gratitude For Everything, Good Or Bad

If you’re looking for a Thanksgiving speech that highlights the real meaning of gratitude, try this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson : “Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”

12. A Moment of Reflection

Charles Dickens’ quote will remind the table to pause and reflect: “Reflect upon your present blessings — of which every man has many — not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.”

Thank you speech: how to perfect cordiality in a speech

Appreciation is the sincerest form of flattery. It makes people feel seen, and their efforts feel recognized.

Any leader worth their salt knows that the key to winning the loyalties of their team is regular appreciation.

Giving a thank you speech is not just good manners but gives an insight into your character. The acknowledgement only works if it comes from the heart and rings genuine. 

So, how do you give a thank you speech? 

Let’s jump into it!

Table of Contents

When is it appropriate to give a thank you speech?

In a company, at an award function, for friends and family, structure of the opening statement, thanking the speakers after the event, thanking the organization, thanking the organization team, have you missed anyone, concluding your thank you speech, mention people by name, positive ending, get it over with.

You don’t really need an occasion to thank somebody. However, in a more formal setting, there may be occasions that specifically call for it. The following are the times when it is most appropriate to give a thank you speech:

• After getting a promotion
• After celebrating an achievement
• Appreciating your team after tackling a tough project
• When receiving an award or recognition
• When establishing a new venture

The list can go on endlessly as your field might have different occasions to give a vote of thanks. Make sure not to miss any opportunity to acknowledge the reasonable efforts of the people around you!

Things to keep in mind

When you’ve decided to give a thank you speech, you need to keep a couple of things in mind. This advice differs according to why you are giving a thank you speech and who is in your audience.

If your company is celebrating you for a milestone or recognition of hard work, make sure you don’t only talk about yourself.

Be generous with your words when talking about the company itself and the great work it does.

Elaborate on how much you enjoy working here and what exactly the company does the right to make it happen.

This will make sure your higher-ups feel appreciated for the work environment they’ve created.

If you are receiving an award by a third party for your work, make sure you adequately express how honored you will be selected.

It is always a good idea to highlight what a recognized organization it is and how you are happy to be a part of it.

If you’re giving a speech to thank friends and family, the setting is much more intimate. You can drop the formalities and talk about how special these people are to you.

As they have gone the extra mile to appreciate you, make sure you return the favor by talking about how lucky you are to have them and their support.

How to write a thank-you speech?

There is no need to beat around the bush with a thank you speech. You can simply start off by expressing gratitude.

An award or recognition means that you can simply open by thanking the company or organization for the honor.

You don’t need to come armed with quotes. In fact, that might actually seem much more disingenuous. Your opening statement also sets the tone for the rest of your speech.

Some factors might determine how formal or informal you need to be with your opening:

In a formal setting, it is best to keep it cordial. Assuming it is a suit and tie event, most people are dressed up and expecting you to keep it classy as well.

As such, we recommend you go for something along the lines of, “I’m so honored to be taking up this renowned stage. Words cannot express how grateful I feel to be the recipient of this award.”

An informal event can be anything from an intimate gathering of loved ones to anniversary parties of a broader range of friends.

In such an event, you can express yourself more freely and don’t have to hold back.

We suggest opening with something along the lines of, “I can’t believe my luck on being able to be surrounded by such wonderful people. I’m immensely 

grateful for each and every one of you and honored to be taking up the stage tonight.”

We have drafted a script for your opening statement. Feel free to customize it as per your needs.

Good evening, Distinguished [name], Honorable [name], Mr. Chairman, Respect Host/Hostess, and all our beloved guests.

It is my honor and privilege to have been given the opportunity to present a vote of thanks on this momentous occasion.

I am honored to represent [Company/Organization] on this prestigious [Event] stage.

I’d like to give a respectful nod to the entire [other supporting/sponsoring organization, team, crew, special guests present in the audience] that have stood behind me to make this possible.

My gratitude extends to all the speakers as well as organizers and hosts due to whom we’ve all come together on this eventful night.

Another possible scenario as a host is that you might have to thank the line of speakers that took up the stage during an event. Please find and customize the script for this as follows:

Let’s hear a big round of applause for [name speaker], His/her incredible delivery on [speech topic] leaves us all leaving this Event a little more aware. 

Pick up on the central theme and reiterate it as a reminder to the audience and to show the speaker that you were paying attention.

If there are more speakers, then follow suit and consider using these thank you examples:

I’d like to thank our second speaker [name speaker] for her take on [speech topic]. Her view on [central theme] was poignant and worthy of a big round of applause.

Furthermore, let’s also express a sincere appreciation for [name speaker] for gracing our stage with her strong opinions on [speech topic]. [Refer to central theme]

Following up, I’d like to thank [name speaker] for providing such an in-depth analysis of [speech topic]. [Reference]

We are grateful to [name speaker] for having the audience in stitches with her insightful yet light-hearted presentation. [Reference].

I would like to hear a resounding round of applause for [name speaker] for his/her inspirational speech that has surely revved up our drive to achieve more.

We are lucky to have the opportunity to listen to your craft and are leaving here today, all inspired by your beautiful words!

This script is for when you need to express appreciation for the organization that is holding this event. It is usually added to the end of a speech. Feel free to edit it as required.

And last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to [organization] for allowing us to use their beautiful venue.

Our utmost thanks to the logistic support that made this Event the smooth success that it has been. Our appreciation further extends to the technical team and organizers who’ve worked tirelessly for this [fun] evening. 

In the case of sponsors: I would also like to extend my thanks to [brand name] as well as [brand name] for their enormous cooperation in making this Event possible.

Mix and match these various styles so that it doesn’t get repetitive as you speak. 

As they say, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” Such is the case with this Event as well. There have been many people working for weeks across multiple group chats and meetings to make this possible.

Getting every detail right and lining up one after other fantastic speakers. Our biggest thank you to the dedicated organizing team for working on every tiny detail and helping create this amazing Event.

I cannot thank everyone enough for their involvement. Each and every one of you is to be credited for your dedication and the willingness to take on the completion outside the realm of their comfort zones! 

Read the room and decide the degree of the flair of formality that needs to be adjusted. People will be happy that their efforts are being recognized. Just make sure not to be too ostentatious about it.

The only thing that is worse than not being appreciated for your work is being singled out or left out.

Make sure you think hard about all the people that have put in their time and effort. Are you sure you haven’t missed anybody? How about anybody from the following list?

• People who sent out invitations
• Special guests who made time for the Event
• People behind the technical arrangements
• The team responsible for location hunting, stage setting and lighting
• Any musicians or other performing entertainers
• People in the catering team
• People from the press and media who are covering the Event

Now all your thank you speech needs is a neat bow to tie it up cleanly. Try this on for size:

Mr. Chairman, ladies, and gentlemen, I would like to thank all of you for being a wonderful audience.

It has been an absolute pleasure to have such a delightful crowd presence. Once again, I’d like to give a big round of applause to all of the speakers for gracing our stage with their well-refined speeches. One last round of applause for all of us here, thank you very much!

Extra Tips to Keep in Mind

While we’ve covered most of our tips, sometimes the simple things can get away from us. And you know what they say, “Better safe than sorry.” So here they are:

A handy tip for appreciation versus criticism is this: When acknowledging people for their good work, always use their name, however, when handing out criticism in front of a crowd, try to generalize as otherwise, you will end up embarrassing people. 

Instead of simply thanking your team, use their names if possible in the given time limit. This will make your appreciation seem much more personalized.

Make a list of all the people you’d genuinely like to thank. If you have time, briefly talk about how they’ve helped you in your journey.

Emphasize how important they’ve been and how. Speak from the heart, and it will definitely ring true.

For phrasing, try something along the lines of:

“From the bottom of my heart, I’d like to give a special thanks to some of the amazing people without whom I cannot imagine standing up here on this stage. Name your supporters and give out your sincere thanks.

If you have extra time, you might want to add in a few lines to thank your supervisor or boss as well. It is customary to make sure they don’t feel left out.

It can be challenging to achieve this as we’re sure any crowd consists of so many people that someone is bound to feel left out.

Your goal is, don’t leave out any of the higher-ups and the important people. But don’t start listing just about everybody just because they are in the crowd. This can reduce the impact of your gratitude for people who have actually helped you.

You’ve given your thanks to so many people who’ve made you who you are. The stage has gotten quite emotional at this point, and your audience is looking at you.

You need to end on a high note. If you simply say your thanks and leave, it can feel incomplete and lacking.

Try to say something inspirational and uplifting. Suppose you’re being recognized for your work.

In that case, you can give your team a motivational boost by saying, “The journey is not yet over, but I can’t imagine being on this ride with any team that is more dedicated or competent than the one at [name].

Let’s wear these tires out and keep this smooth ride going!”

You can also go for dedication to your strongest support or mentor. Something like, “And lastly, I want to leave you with the words of my strongest support, my [name].

When I was full of doubts and insecurities, they’re the ones who said [something inspirational].

This award is for you and your belief in me. I hope I’ve made you proud. Thank you for everything!”

We know, we know, this is your moment on stage. After all, this is such an honor, and there are so many people to thank.

But your audience is eager to get to the catering table! Be considerate, and keep it clear but brief. You don’t want to take the audience through your entire journey.

A good thank you speech is no longer than two and at most three minutes. Use your time well and remember: It is always better to leave them wanting more than getting them to be like, “Get it over with already!”

Writing a thank you speech can be intimidating. It is challenging to remember all of the people who have helped you along the way. If you recently reached a personal, spiritual or career milestone, you may be wondering how to compose a ‘thank you’ speech. A ‘thank you’ speech needs to identify all of the people you are thankful for, as well as the specific things you are thankful for and their personal or professional meaning to you. While ‘thank you’ speeches are relatively straightforward, they can be tricky to write, especially if the list of people to thank is very large or very small.

Sample Thank You Speeches

Prioritizing Your Thank You List

• Who helped you become the person you are today?
• Who offered you the most encouragement?
• What specific contributions are you thanking people for?
• Who gave you the time of day when you really needed help?
• Who offered valuable expertise at crucial moments?

• For instance, under the category expertise, you could rank individuals from most to least important contributions of expertise to the project or award you are giving the speech for.

• For instance, a ‘thank you’ speech at a wedding should be no longer than three minutes long.

Composing Your Speech

• In 1985, Sally Field spoke from the heart in her Oscar thank you speech. She said, “I can’t deny the fact that you like me, right now you like me!”
• In 1970, at the age of 61, John Wayne was genuine about how long it took him to win, upon accepting the award for best actor for the role of one-eyed Rooster Cogburn. He said, “Wow! If I’d known that, I would have put the patch on 35 years ago.”

• For instance, you could say: “I am so humbled by this honor.”
• You could also use humor. For instance, when George Clooney won best supporting actor in 2006 but lost the best director award, he drew on his self-deprecating humor. He said, “Well, it looks like I’m not winning best director…”

• If it is a short ‘thank you’ speech, it is often best to skip the intro entirely. The audience will know why you are giving the speech, so follow the example of Abraham Lincoln who always skipped the introduction.

• Once you have written about the most important individuals, you can always edit the speech later for concision.
• Budget your time for each person. Remember that if you spend too much time on any one person, you may not be able to get to others who still really need to be thanked.

About This Article

Writing a thank you speech can seem intimidating, but if you make a list of the people you’re grateful to first, it should be relatively simple. Make a note of anyone who has helped you get to where you are now, whether professionally, supporting you emotionally, or giving you valuable advice. Order the list by how grateful you are to each person. When you write your speech, give the top few people more time and add a few details about how they helped you. Then, you can list the people further down the list together. For example, say, “And I also want to thank my colleagues, Peter, Ann, Zoe, and John.” Practice saying your speech out loud so you can keep it within the time limit.

Be Thankful to Simple Things

You don’t have to wait for momentous occasions to be thankful. If you wait for such moments only, then remember this that such moments are rare. Therefore, you will have very few occasions and moments to be thankful to. That certainly is a wrong approach.

What each person should do is to be thankful for simple things in life. One may say there is not much fun in simple things and they are not precious. Well, that’s certainly a wrong attitude. One must always try to focus and cherish the little things in life.

Taking a simple walk every day for a few minutes is a simple reason to be thankful. Be thankful when you walk on the road or in a garden. Cherish the surroundings while walking like trees, flowers, birds, etc.

A meal is something that we consume every day. But how many of us actually acknowledge the fact that we are lucky enough to eat food and enjoy it. Delicious food is a blessing that we should greatly admire each and every day of our lives.

Saying thank you at work is another good and simple way of expressing gratitude. You can send thank you notes to your fellow employees saying that you value their friendship and warm company. Look for opportunities to say thank you to fellow employees whenever they do something good. Besides, you must also say thank you to individuals like the gatekeepers, security personnel, janitors, etc.

Finally, there are some individuals who feel that they have nothing good in life and their life is full of calamities. Well, in that case, I will suggest such an individual go and visit places like hospitals and graveyards. Such places will make this individual feel sad and be thank full for even the smallest things in life.

Saying thank you is one of the best yet simplest of things you can do in your life. It’s a precious word that each individual must make use of from time to time. Be thankful for whatever opportunity or blessing you get in life.

Introduction to the Speech

The term "teach" comes from the Middle English word "techne," which means "to demonstrate or instruct." A teacher is a person that has played an important role in everyone's life. He or she shows their students the right path and educates them in the areas of wisdom, virtue, competence, and so on. Here we have provided both long and short thank you speeches for teachers for the students of Classes 1 to 12.

Long Thanks Giving Speech for Teachers

Greetings everyone! I am ABC and today I have the pleasure of hosting this program and delivering the thank you speech to teachers who have made us what we are today. This is a very emotional time for all of us because, on one hand, we are moving towards a new life. On the other hand, we are leaving our favorite place, our school, where we spent the most formative years of our lives.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of our teachers for preparing us to compete in the global marketplace. Our teachers are a symbol of our strength and will always be a  wonderful source of support for us all. They are tough in the form of fathers and loving in the form of mothers, caring for us as if we were friends, strict disciplinarians but always looking out for us. Our teachers are great individuals who have shaped us after our parents and made us wise to deal with the world. We've accepted everything and worked hard to overcome our flaws as a team.

I recall being a timid and introverted student when I first enrolled in this class. I've struggled with public speaking, and today I'm giving a gratitude speech for teachers who helped me overcome my shyness. This is due to the effort and care they showered on me. They didn't leave any stone unturned in their efforts to alter my personality and attitude. 

I don't think I need to say that they've done a pretty good job of preparing me for the outside world. The teacher resembles a mentor and serves as an excellent role model for students. Every word spoken by the teacher is embraced by the students. Teachers are excellent and selfless people who accept each student without prejudice.

In comparison to other students, I found it more difficult to complete my projects and assignments. You took extra time to prepare me for the real world' and paid close attention to me. I recall a time in class 11 when I had given up all hope. You all encouraged me in your own unique way and shared stories of great people who rose to fame after adversity.

You instilled in me the importance of working hard and not compromising on small matters. All of these things I've learned from you. I am confident that all of my friends would like to express their gratitude to our dear teachers, as we are always grateful to all of you.

On behalf of myself and my classmates, I would like to express my gratitude to all of the  Teachers who helped us in our journey.

Short Thanking Speech for Teachers

When I first met you, I despised you. You made me stand up straight, which I despised. I despised the way you forced me to wear my uniform correctly. I despised the way you forced me to speak properly. Most of all, I despised the way you insisted on only accepting my work if it was the best I could do. And the best always seemed to necessitate more effort than I was willing to expend.

At first, we had a lot of disagreements. I recall being kept in a lot during lunch. And, despite my screaming and threats – and even a few tears – I recall you never lose your cool. You've always been very patient with me. You were always willing to listen to me whenever I needed to be heard.

I consider that period to be pivotal in my growth into the person I am today. You instilled discipline in me. You instilled in me the value of respect. You taught me much more than English, which was what you were supposed to be teaching me. You taught me that I was capable of much more than I or others believed. Instead of being a clown, I could be a success. 

A motivator. An inspiration. An Enthusiast. These three qualities are just a few of the many you show every day with all of your students, including me.

Too often, we rush through the ‘ropes of life,' oblivious to the importance of taking the time to express our gratitude and genuine appreciation for the support you so generously provide for our development as not only students but also as global citizens.

Thank you for your honesty. Thank you for seeing me as a learning and sharing partner. Thank you for allowing yourself to be who you are. Thank you for being one of the few outstanding educators in the world. May you be an inspiration to others to achieve greatness as you have.

For us, all of our professors have been a source of inspiration.

As I've gotten older, I've realized that teachers play a critical role in the lives of children.

They aid in the development of our interpersonal skills, communication skills, writing skills, overall gestures, and presentation skills.

For any school or educational center to exist, teachers must be present.

The great teachers who have been a part of this journey have given me the courage and self-confidence that I have today.

I believe I have learned a lot from first grade to the last session of 12th grade.

Teachers have a significant influence on our lives. They influence our lives by passing on their wisdom, and they never fail to inspire us to dream, fight, and never give up.

Use the End of the School Year to Express Specific Gratitude

Thanking your child's teacher benefits both you and your child in multiple ways..

Posted June 17, 2024 | Reviewed by Jessica Schrader

• Find a therapist near me
• When giving positive feedback, be specific about what a teacher did that positively impacted your child.
• Don’t assume your child’s teacher knows how you appreciate their efforts with your child.
• Thanking teachers in writing and copying administrators can get you and your child goodwill.

A couple of months ago, I wrote a blog post about generosity . This month, I'd like to focus on the important quality that acknowledges generosity: gratitude . Gratitude demonstrates appreciation and offers thanks for others' gifts, help, or kindness. Both generosity and gratitude are qualities that draw others to us, and both can be cultivated and nurtured in even very young children. To do that, though, we may want to start with ourselves.

While most of my posts have explored ways parents can positively affect their children's well-being in school, I am going to take a more indirect approach in this post by encouraging parents to show gratitude toward their children's teachers. Shifting focus from your children to those who teach them gives you an opportunity to boost the morale of teachers you appreciate and, if your kids are older, to model showing your appreciation. It can also have long-term benefits for your children and to your reputation among their teachers, and it can even positively affect the children those teachers teach in the future.

You may be surprised to learn how rarely parents or students thank teachers for the time and effort they take to guide and instruct their students. The reality is that teachers are leaving their classroom careers at higher rates than ever. They are increasingly burdened by enormous workloads and demanding administrators and often feel underappreciated by parents and students. COVID exacerbated this situation, and it was the last straw for many exhausted and underpaid teachers.

The end of the school year is a perfect time to let the teachers for whom you have been grateful know about the differences they made in your children's lives. If your children's teachers encouraged them, inspired them to believe in themselves, gently pushed them to be their best selves, or even saved them from themselves at times, letting those teachers know that you are aware of and appreciative of the special care they gave your kids will make them feel seen and valued.

Parents of especially challenging children—perhaps those with a learning or behavioral issue—may feel grateful that a teacher kept them from being marginalized in the classroom, building bridges that helped the other kids work with theirs. Parents of high-achieving children may feel fortunate that a teacher went out of their way to suggest extra reading or enrichment opportunities to encourage their kids' enthusiasm for a subject. If you know that your children are easily triggered, but they have a teacher who thinks they are fabulous, acknowledge the teacher's skill at anticipating triggers and avoiding the kinds of tricky outcomes you have seen in past years. These kinds of teachers are exceptional and need to hear it.

Expressing your gratitude in writing is best because it can be looked at for years. I know teachers who have a folder in their desks called their "rainy day file" containing messages that remind them on challenging school days why they get up every morning to do what they do. If you send an email, consider cc-ing the teacher's supervisor. School administrators rarely get to watch their faculty in action, so giving them glimpses into talented teachers' classrooms will make them feel proud, too. Administrators may even share your words about the teacher with the rest of the faculty as an example of the kind of teaching valued in their school. It also keeps special teachers in mind for teaching awards and other opportunities to showcase what they do well.

Many parents send their kids to school with token gifts for teachers on the last day of the year. The kind of note I am talking about is more personal and specifically directed at expressing how teachers made a difference in your kids' lives. The more specific you are in describing what you have appreciated, the more likely these teachers will be inspired to continue teaching with the attentiveness and passion they brought to your children's classrooms. It is incredibly energizing for teachers to realize that what they have strived to accomplish has hit the mark. Although your primary purpose is not getting teachers to say nice things about you, it will likely be a side benefit of your expression of gratitude. We tend to like people who value us; when the words are genuine and specific, they carry more weight.

If your children are older, you can tell them you are writing a thank-you letter to their teacher, teaching them to do the same. While there's certainly an expectation that all teachers provide support to their students, the degree of that support and the willingness and effort they take to provide it are all qualities your older child should be aware of. There's no teacher who won't appreciate being appreciated.

Long Thank You Speech for Teachers 500 Words In English.

Good morning to everyone present here today. Today, I am here to share how thankful I am to have teachers who have built me into the person I am.

The first word that strikes my mind hearing the word teacher is my school. It would be an unimaginable scenario if there would be no teacher to guide me through the fourteen years of school.

It is this time when we either build ourselves or break ourselves. The rational thinking that develops, the values that are culminated into us, shows a lot about the teachers who educated us. Most of our personality traits and our way of judging other people are developed in these crucial years.

The teachers have a significant role to play in the character building of a student. Not only a school teacher, but any educator has the power to influence our minds to a great extent.

The first work of a teacher is teaching, which everyone is well aware of. To make complicated things easy to understand for the students is the core work of the teacher. That is the magic that they have. But this magic does not come for free. They put all their efforts, hours of practice, thinking, research, etc. to make things easier.

I have known teachers who have worked hard night and day to solve a particular student’s problems. The teachers are our guardian’s right after our parents. They scold us when we are wrong and support us when we are right. They know what is best for us, though, at the time, we may feel its unfair, but as we grow up, we start to understand the real world. We also realize that our teachers always had the best interest of us in mind.

Growing up is hard, but if we still remember the values that we were taught in school by our teachers, we could easily face real-world problems. They taught us to fight our problems and not run away from it but face it bravely.

I am and will always be grateful to my teachers, who had a significant influence on my life. I was never an excellent student, but my teachers were always there to support me, directing me to the right path and encouraging me to do better than before.

As we come to the end of the speech, I would like to thank all my teachers who had molded me into the person I am today. I do a job that I am happy to do, and I am an independent person, I speak up against the wrongs. I hope they will be glad to know that I do my best as a responsible citizen and preach the same.

Thank you, teachers, for all the lessons you people have taught me. I couldn’t ask for more.

With this, I come to the end of the speech. Thank you, everyone, present here for being such an attentive audience. I hope you all have a great day ahead.

Short Thank You Speech for Teachers 150 Words In English

Good morning and welcome everyone who has gathered the given topic. Thank you, speech for teachers.

No speech can do justice to the contributions a teacher makes. A teacher can make a lousy student good. He/ she is not only concerned with a student’s academic curriculum but also helps in the overall growth and development of the kid.

The contributions of a teacher in the lives of their students cannot be described in words. All words fall short. One can only be grateful for the presence of the teachers in their lives.

Thus, we should always respect our teachers and pour them with happiness and joy. It is our duty and responsibilty as students to make them proud of our actions. And never forget the significance of the roles they played to mold our lives. In this lifetime, one might not get enough time to convey how grateful we were to get the gift of teachers.

Jonathan Groff Thanks Family For Supporting 'Passions Without Judgment' In Moving Tonys Speech

Jonathan Groff thanked his family for backing his love for theater in a touching acceptance speech after his first Tony Award on Sunday.

The actor and singer, who previously received Tony nominations for his roles in “Spring Awakening” and “Hamilton,” won Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical for his portrayal of Franklin Shepard in the Broadway revival of “Merrily We Roll Along.”

“Thank you for letting me dress up like Mary Poppins when I was 3. Thank you for letting me act out scenes from ‘I Love Lucy’ on my 10th birthday. Thank you for always allowing my freak flag to fly without ever making me feel weird about it,” said Groff of his parents, Jim and Julie Groff, and his brother, David.

He added, “Even if they didn’t always understand me, my family knew the lifesaving power of fanning the flame of a young person’s passions without judgment. I walked through life with an open heart because you let me know that I could.”

Groff mentioned his move to New York City, where he got a job waiting tables and volunteered with Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids, and expressed his gratitude to those involved in “Spring Awakening” who helped him become part of the Broadway community.

″[You] not only made that dream come true but also inspired me to come out of the closet when I was 23,” said the actor, who came out as gay in 2009.

“I’m now 39, and musical theater is still saving my soul.”

He went on to thank “Merrily We Roll Along” director Maria Friedman and fellow cast members Lindsay Mendez and Daniel Radcliffe. Radcliffe also won his first Tony Award on Sunday.

“You are more than old friends; you are soulmates,” he said of the two actors, “and I’m looking forward to watching each other change for the rest of our lives.”

He ended his speech by looking back on his childhood in Pennsylvania, when he would record the Tony Awards on VHS.

“To actually be able to be a part of making theater in this city and just as much to be able to watch the work of this incredible, incredible community has been the greatest gift and pleasure of my life,” he said.
