‘Twas the night before school starts, when all through the building
The classrooms sat empty, waiting for children.
The teachers have been working, for weeks by now
To make sure students would enter with a “wow!”
Meanwhile, children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of a new year danced in their heads.
Teachers were putting finishing touches on plans
To bring an amazing year to their student’s hands.
The morning would bring new adventures no doubt
Another school year is beginning with a lot to be excited about.
Happy first day of school, and to all a goodnight!
Teachers across the district are gearing up for back to school with professional develop training all week. Can't believe summer is almost over and a new school year is about to begin. We are excited to welcome students back on Monday! #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence
