Rancho Volunteers
by Kandee Adams
We thank you
We thank you for
Working with students in the classrooms
Watching them on the yard
Patrolling on rainy day lunches
And being a traffic guard
We thank you for
Putting up the marquee
Planting lovely flowers
For stuffing Friday folders
And driving on field trips for hours
We thank you for
Copying a thousand papers
Making bake sales happen
Organizing special assemblies
And Coast-to-Coast Mappin’
We thank you for
Taking eagle pictures
For fundraising the money
For helping us become scientists
And making our days more sunny
We thank you for
Writing long applications
For correcting stacks of papers
For bringing us authors and illustrators
And planning class party capers
We thank you for
Installing our benches
For helping with rally signs
A Halloween parade to die for
And a million Friday Flash lines
We thank you for
Ranchoburg and all things 5th
Book fairs, new and old
Wrapping paper, Spelling Bee
And a Talent Show of gold
We thank you for
Staffing Blues by the Lake
Holiday Boutique Shopping
For Picture Day and Running Club
Still working when you feel like dropping
We thank you for
Walk and Roll Wednesdays
Family Dinner and Spring Fling
Reflections in the Fall
And the Curb your Carbon thing
We thank you for
An engaging website
Our handbook and email blast
A lottery exciting
Memories that last
We thank you for
Career Day
Multicultural too
Whatever needs doing
You always do
We thank you for
PTA
With membership strong
Leadership team
With meetings long
We thank you for
Box top races
Bagging ice
Sitting on committees
And giving advice
We thank you for
The Rancho News and Field Day
For deeds not listed or said
We thank you volunteers
Without you we’d be dead!
