🏴‍☠️🖤The Night Before Teachers Return💛🏴‍☠️

The halls are quiet, the lights are low,
Tomorrow our Pirate crew is ready to go.
Classrooms are waiting, adventures in sight,
Prepared with purpose and hearts shining bright.

Making our school a place where all can succeed.
So rest well tonight—our journey's about to start.
