🍎 ’Twas the night before school, and all through the house,
Not a child was awake—not a cat, not a mouse.
The backpacks were hung by the door with great care,
In hopes that the morning would run without despair.
The shoes were lined up, and the outfits laid out,
With labels on everything, ending all doubt!
Every backpack, water bottle, lunchbox, and coat
Had a name clearly written on a label or note.
The children are nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of recess dance through their heads.
So here’s to a fresh and bright opening night—
Sleep tight, friends! Tomorrow will be bright! ✨
Thank you to all of our families for the wonderful attendance at Meet the Teacher today! It was so nice meeting everyone, and we are excited to begin our school year together tomorrow!
Please remember to label everything your child brings to school with their first and last name and room number—especially backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles, jackets, sweaters, and extra clothing. Make sure your child has their name tag with their teacher’s name too! See you in the morning! ❤️
