H Guy Child Elementary -

’Twas the weekend before school starts, and all through the school,
Not a student was stirring, the hallways were cool.
The classrooms were tidy, the floors shining bright,
All ready for children arriving at light.

The crayons were nestled all snug in their bins,
The markers and scissors tucked neatly within.
The books in the library stood tall on their shelves,
Arranged in neat rows by some hardworking elves.

When out in the hallway there rose such a sound,
The custodian’s vacuum was making its round.
The teachers were busy with bulletin boards,
Pinning up letters and bright cardboard chords.

The lunch trays were stacked in the cafeteria with care,
In hopes that hungry students soon would be there.
The gym floor was polished, the jump ropes were hung,
The playground lay quiet, no laughter had sprung.

The principal checked his long list once again,
“Tomorrow,” he whispered, “our new year begins!”
From K to sixth grade, excitement would grow,
With lessons and friendships and much to bestow.

And so through the school, not a sound, not a peep,
The building was waiting while children did sleep.
And all of the teachers, with hearts full of cheer,
Whispered, “Happy First Day, and a wonderful year!”
