Remember?

We made it!  We did it!

The last day is here…

We’ve officially survived

Another school year.

But wasn’t Open House

Just yesterday?

Didn’t we just meet each other,

And shyly say, “Hey…”?

It seems as if the school year,

Just got off to a start…

But now it’s already time

For us all to depart!

But before you pack up,

and race off to the pool…

Let’s highlight some memories

From this year in school.

Remember the decorated doors?

And Curriculum Night?

“Happy School Year!” we shouted,

As we started the year off right.

Remember when three mamas-to-be,

Waddled around the school?

Now their babies are here,

Full of babbles and drool!

Remember Jump Rope for Heart?

And cool Mr. Hicks…

Teaching us ways to be healthy

So we don’t live life sick.

Remember our awesome music teacher,

Guiding our productions, so neat!

Mrs. Noisette is so talented!

Always keeping us on beat.

Remember the way you learned to draw?

Our resident artist, Mrs. Wiles!

Who taught us to paint, color, and mold,

All with a smile.

Remember when you were having a bad day,

And needed an ear?

Mrs. Collins was there for you,

Ready to hug and hear.

Remember when you really wanted to read?

Or needed to find an AR book?

Mr. Brandt was your man,

Taking the time to help you look.

And what would we do without the ladies in the office?

Giving us a hug, a smile, or a band-aid.

Taking our money, calling our parents,

Letting us know it’ll all be okay.

Remember when you got into a little bit of trouble?

Or maybe needed help with your bus?

Mr. Maglio was always there for you,

Helping you while being fair and just.

Remember when our own Miss Hennings

Won Teacher of the Year?

She was so deserving, so special…

We’re all so lucky to have her here!

Remember when Mrs. Smith was all dressed up,

Like Dr. Seuss’ Cat in the Hat?

She even had whiskers and a tail…

I bet you’ll never forget that!

Then there was Multicultural Night,

Birthday balloons, tie-dye, and hat days…

Field Day!  One of everyone’s favorites,

As you got to go outside and play.

Games, cotton candy, and the dunking booth…

Spring Fling was a blast, too!

There was so much fun to be had all year long,

What sticks out the most to you?

Most importantly, though, are the relationships formed,

Between students, teachers, families, and staff.

So please always remember each other fondly…

The good times, the hard times, the times we’ve laughed.

It’s time to bid farewell… for now.

So say goodbye to all of your friends…

Summertime is officially here,

We’ll see you in August when we begin again!
