'Twas the night before school at St. Lawrence once more,

As backpacks sat waiting by each bedroom door.

The pencils were sharpened, supplies tucked away,

All set for the learning and fun of the day.
The students were dreaming of friends new and old,

Of stories, discoveries, and moments to hold. The staff were preparing with hearts full of care,

Ready to welcome each learner with flair.
The hallways stood quiet, the classrooms all bright,

Awaiting the laughter that soon would take flight.

So rest well tonight, let excitement shine through,

For the St. Lawrence family can't wait to see you! 📚✨🍎
