'Twas the week before Christmas and all through the school All the kids were excited for this season of Yule All the kids in the school jazzed for the holiday While the 8th grade students wait for high school decisions and pray The teachers all happy, ready and waiting for the break From Pre-K to Middle School with holiday plans still to make Teachers taking temps and chatting by the door, Students wondering what their Christmas tree has in store. When out on the playground, there arose such a clatter Mr. Hahn sprang in his room to see what was the matter The usual shattering of windows from a middle school game Wasn’t the culprit, there was something else to blame. When what to my wondering eye should appear, A short little elf coming down the slide so clear With a little old driver so lively and quick He knew in a moment it must be St. Nick! More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came, He whistled, shouted, and called them by name. “Now Dasher, now Dancer, now Prancer and Vixen, On Comet, on Cupid, on Donder and Blizten. To the top of the slide, to the recess tunnel wall, Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!” As wild leaves, before Pan Lesyk’s leaf blower they fly When they meet with an obstacle, and mount to the sky; So up to the school’s top the coursers they flew With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too— And then, in a twinkling, Mr. Hahn heard in his room, Suspending his class, sometimes still learning on Zoom As he drew in his head, and was turning around, Into the classroom St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed in holiday garb, a week before the big day, The red suit was at the cleaners, but there was cheer to display, A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And interrupted the eighth graders just having their snack! His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow; He had a broad face and a little round belly That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, Spreading holiday cheer with the students hard at work The 8th grade got respite from history, a slight little rest The 7th grade got crafts, and help to clean up a mess To the 6th grade he lent them a few of his elves To the 5th grade he told a story, they’ve done well for themselves To the 4th he gave study hints for Mr. Pacini’s vocab test To the 3rd he gave nap time, to give Ms. Plonka some rest To the 2nd he gave free time, so Ms. Sotter can breathe To the 1st he gave Ms. Anderson a short Christmas leave To Kindergarten, the wild ones they are, he knew what they need Free choice, Ms. Steele is courageous, with such an energetic group to lead To Ms. Martin and Ms. Hess, whose Pre-K kids are so full of joy He let them take a day off, often time is more precious than a toy. He didn’t forget Ms. Carreno, Ms. Kozak, Pana Oksana or Ms. Dychiy, Nor did he forget Ms. Swytnyk, Pana Maria, Pan Laseyk or Ms. Cirilli, He said he would be visiting their houses first on Christmas Eve Night He needs good advice about children before his long winter flight When he was done, he looked at his work Smiled, said a prayer, and turned with a jerk And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, out to Rice street he goes He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight— “Happy Christmas SNCS, and to all a good night!” ... See more 1 month ago SNCS is very thankful for all of our supporters.
