Does anyone have a good end of the school year poem I can print and give to my kids? Thanks in advance.

I'm interested to see what others use. I've always used the following:

I’m glad I was your teacher.
I've come to love you so.
I can't believe the end is here.
I hate to see you go.

Remember all the fun we had
in all the things we did
But most of all remember...
You're a very special kid!

I got this poem from someone else on here! It was set up to give to the parents, but with a few small word changes, I made it so it could be given to the student. Here's both versions:

Parent Version

Great Expectations


It's time to say good-bye,


our year has come to an end.

I've made more cherished memories
and many more new friends.

I've watched your child learn and grow

and change from day to day.
I hope that all the things we've done
Have helped in some small way.

So it's with happy memories

I send them out the door.
With great hope and expectations,
for what next year holds in store.

Sorry---I should have put that in an attachment---it got messed up in the transition to email! Won't try that again....!

I have attached it here---it also has the poem that the previous poster listed.
