To have a new day of fun

You have shown throughout the year
Helping us through our problems
And making them all so clear

The color Red represents our class

And Green for the color go
As we move up to the next grade

Knowing the year must end
We wish you a happy summer
And well wishes do we send

But to me, you’re the “salt of the earth”
You need to know that you helped me grow
And just how much that’s worth!
