🎓 ’Twas the Night of Graduation 🎓
’Twas the night of graduation, and all through the school,
Not a student was stirring, they’d followed each rule.
The diplomas were placed on the table with care,
In hopes that the seniors soon would be there.
The students were dressed in their caps and their gowns,
With smiles on their faces, no traces of frowns.
And parents in bleachers, and staff standing by,
Prepared to cheer loudly and maybe to cry.
When out on the lawn there arose such a cheer,
We knew that the moment was finally here!
Away to the stage they walked with great pride,
Their futures ahead and their families wide-eyed.
With tassels now turned and names proudly read,
Years of hard work were joyfully shed.
No longer just students—they’re ready to soar,
To chase every dream, to open each door.
So join us this evening, don’t miss a beat,
At 7 o’clock—please be in your seat!
Let’s honor this class as they rise and they shine,
Tonight is their moment, their turn, their time.
Congratulations to the Class of 2025!
