One Week and Three Days

One week and three days, no doubt they’ll be great

Minus the weekend, of school it makes eight


For eight days of school I’m sure you can last

A lot to get done, the time will go fast


Work ethic engaged no shortcuts to take

So we can enjoy a long nine day break


Keep those books open, great notes you should write

Your break will be fun all day and all night


The reason should be in front of your mind

For Christmas be grateful, merry, and kind


Find joy in others with whom you spend time

If you’ve been good, down the chimney he’ll climb


Eight days will go fast, it won’t be too long

Soon you’ll be singing a fun Christmas song


Handshakes or fist bumps or at least a smile

Eight days from now you can rest for a while


There’s nothing easy about these eight days

Have no doubt to us our kids will amaze


So let’s keep it going, fire up with no fear

In eight days from now we can yell and cheer


For a Christmas break, a week and a half

The schools will be empty of kids and staff


One week and three days, it’s almost here

Keep on engaging, to finish the year

Happy Friday!
