What a joy it is for a new year of study,
All the kids go back to see their buddy;
After spending a nice long vacation,
With a summer of so much frustration;
Thank the teacher for all their sweat,
As they apprise what students forget;
May God give wisdom and use their wit,
For the students to become mentally fit;
Give them courage for the unknown,
So kids will explore what they're shown;
Most of all help the teachers to seek,
Opening the child's mind that is weak;
Motivate teachers for the child to heed,
May they plant knowledge from the seed;
Motivate students to continue to learn,
The test scores reflect wisdom they earn;
May the school be for a place of learning,
Which will keep the brain in yearning;
To continue and increase their desire,
For striving education levels even higher.
