Twas the night before school starts, no echoes in the halls. No whispers, just stillness, as moonlight softly falls. Classrooms stood prepared, each desk neatly in a line. In expectation of students who we know will shine. And as morning neared, a new day in sight, teachers silently prayed for a happy day of learning to come for all, and to all a good night!
