"Thank You, Teacher" Wall

The "Thank You, Teacher" Wall is SMART's way of enabling elementary and high school students under the Smart Schools Program (SSP) to express gratitude to their teachers. Tarpaulin walls are sent to schools, where they will be set up at a strategic spot within the campus for students to write messages for their teachers. Pictures of the said walls sent to Smart Communications, Inc. (SMART) will qualify as entries for the raffle.

The tarpaulin shown below is the "Thank You, Teacher" Wall of Lupon Vocational High School, Lupon, Davao Oriental.
