Your work with students is valuable; 

Worth a treasure beyond all cost.

Without your standard of excellence,

Like driftwood, they’d be tossed.

You are more than just a teacher - 

You’re a counselor and friend,

And encourager and role model

In a wonderful, marvelous blend.

Thanks for your splendid efforts.

Thanks for your special touch.

In a world where much is devalued,

You are valued very much.
