Graduation season is here. You want to deliver gratitude from the entire class to a beloved teacher — but collecting farewell messages from everyone on paper is a massive project for parents.
With PicTomo YOSEGAKI's digital message board, just share a URL to collect messages and photos from the whole class, then print them as a gift.
Common Challenges with Teacher Farewell Messages
- Passing the card around is a hassle: With 30+ students, it can take days to circulate a card
- Can't reach all parents: It may be difficult to contact every family directly
- Children's handwriting is hard to read: Young children's writing has charm, but can be hard for the teacher to decipher
- Want to include photos too: Limited space on a paper card for photos
- No time during graduation prep: Too busy with other preparations to pass around a card
YOSEGAKI Albums Solve Everything
PicTomo YOSEGAKI addresses all of these challenges.
Just Send a URL for Full Participation
Simply send the URL via your class LINE group or communication network. No need to physically pass anything — even busy parents can post a message from their phone in their spare time.
1,000-Character Messages + Photos
Express gratitude that wouldn't fit in a tiny card space — up to 1,000 characters. Plus, attach event photos or parent-child shots to make the memories even more vivid.
Print and Present to the Teacher
The collected messages support a print-friendly layout. Print them out and put them in a folder or frame for a one-of-a-kind farewell gift. Share the digital URL too, so the teacher can revisit it on their phone anytime.
When Parents Lead the Process
1. Class Representative Creates a YOSEGAKI Album
The class parent representative or PTA member creates the album. Name it something clear like "Thank You Messages for [Teacher's Name]."
2. Share the URL via LINE Group
Post the URL in the parents' LINE group with a message like "Please post your message by [date]." If children are writing the messages, parents can post on their behalf.
3. Encourage Message Posting
Sending reminders one week and three days before the deadline significantly boosts participation. Add tips like "Please include your child's name."
4. Print and Present at the Graduation Ceremony
Once all messages are collected, print them as a booklet. Handing it to the teacher along with flowers at the graduation ceremony makes an unforgettable gift.
When Students Lead the Process
For middle school, high school, or university graduations, students often take the lead.
Class Representatives Create the Album
Share the URL via the class LINE group or school communication tools, and encourage all classmates to post messages.
Write Specific Memories with the Teacher
"Your classes were so easy to understand." "Working together on the school festival." "Thank you for listening when I needed advice." — Specific stories resonate deeply with the teacher.
Attach Class and Event Photos
School trips, sports festivals, cultural festivals, everyday classroom moments — attaching memorable photos makes the YOSEGAKI even more valuable.
Photo Ideas
- Event photos: Sports days, cultural festivals, recitals, field trips — photos from events shared with the teacher
- Class photos: Group photos of the whole class are perfect graduation mementos
- Everyday moments: During class, lunch time, recess — the ordinary moments are treasures
- Photos with the teacher: Photos taken with the teacher are especially cherished
- Children's drawings: For kindergarten or preschool, a photo of a child's portrait of the teacher makes a wonderful addition
Message Examples
- From kindergarten parents: "Thank you for greeting our child with a smile every day for three years. [Child's name] loved you and always looked forward to going to school."
- From elementary school parents: "Thank you for always finding and praising the good in our child. It gave them so much confidence."
- From middle/high school students: "Thanks to your classes, I came to love [subject]. Thank you for always being there to listen to my concerns about the future."
- From university students: "The critical thinking skills I developed in your seminar will serve me well in my career. I'm proud to have studied under you, Professor [Name]."
