We had planned the visits with the Head Teachers in each school who played along brilliantly by keeping it a secret from their staff members till the day itself. Many of the teachers were caught by surprise as some of our FrogAsia staff walked into their classrooms in the middle of their lessons with big smiles and colorful balloons!
While that was happening, the rest of our staff were busy preparing the school hall with an array of delicious cupcakes, sweets and cookies, sponsored by Bachoven, Chupa Chups and Milky Way Food as well as a hearty breakfast spread from McDonalds.
One of the best moments during the surprise was when En Mohd Haleq bin Hayon from SK La Salle (1) Sentul said to us, “We [teachers] are normally the ones planning our own Teachers’ Day programme in school. One of the teachers said that in 16 years of being a teacher, no one has surprised me for Teachers’ Day. I was very moved by this surprise.”
Watch the full surprise in this video and take a look at what went on behind the scenes in the photos below!

YTL Foundation had arranged for guest speaker, Daniel Lee the XtraMiler to inspire the students at SK Jalan Selangor 1 with his story earlier that day so he joined in the celebration with the other teachers too.
