🌙✨'Twas the night before school starts, and all through the town,

Excitement was building, with smiles all around!

The backpacks were waiting by the front door with care,

In hopes that new friendships soon would be there.

The teachers were ready, the classrooms all set,

For the best school year ever—our favorite one yet!

So tuck yourselves in, close your eyes, sleep real tight,

Happy First-Day Eve to all, and to all a good night! 💤

We can't wait to welcome our Explorers tomorrow morning! ✏️ 💙

Doors open at 7:15 a.m., and a free breakfast is served to all students at 7:30! Our school day officially begins at 7:45 a.m.! Sweet dreams, Explorers! 🌜💭
