As we pray for warmer days and dodge the last of the winter’s frost
The end of the school year comes with a high cost
Seniors already have one foot of the door
But first, we must acknowledge their achievements galore!
Autumn this year came and went so quickly
Captains lead the way from volleyball to field hockey
The tennis players cleaning the competition was no surprise
Our achievements this fall ran across the board, I cannot lie
Our beloved homecoming brought us all together
But the seniors stood out, rocking studs and black leather
The theme was fresher than their old band tees
I felt like I was at a rock and roll concert in the seventies
Kindness from the seniors was demonstrated all the time
From Homecoming with Heart to Providence House, their volunteer work is sublime
Our Senate President has proved her leadership through her hard work and commitment
With a talent show and Show the Love assembly, some of my favorite events
Winter arrived with no delay
Unfortunately, this year, we only had two snow days
Nevertheless, our seniors helped us through the winter snow showers
And by winter break, us juniors finally got our flowers
There’s an abundance of talented writers in the 2019 senior class
The amount of Scholastic Awards they received was really quite vast
Our Retrospect editors even created a special edition,
Incorporating all voices with much sophistication
Carnival blessed the Spring when it came around
And the seniors turned a rainy race day totally upside down
Witches and warlocks paraded the eerie gym
All to raise so much money – which was the real win
As the flowers bloom, so do the cards on the wall
All across the world, our seniors will go next fall
I know that I will savor my time with the seniors until the end of the year
I encourage you to do the same; they give great advice and a good listening ear
