Christmas Cheer at W.O. Lance Elementary
At W.O. Lance Elementary, the season’s here at last,
With jingle bells and smiling faces, holiday cheer so vast!
The halls are bright with laughter, with artwork on display,
And joyful little voices that light up every day.
Our students are the heart of it, the sparkle and the glow,
From kindergarten kindness to the stars our learners show.
With caring hearts and helping hands, we cheer them as they grow,
Wrapped up in love and learning wherever they may go.
From reading by the twinkling tree to songs we love to sing,
Each moment shared together is a very special thing.
At W.O. Lance Elementary, this message rings out clear:
We love our students dearly and wish all a season full of cheer! 🎁❄️🎶

Alegría navideña en la Escuela Primaria W.O. Lance
En la Escuela Primaria W.O. Lance, ¡la temporada por fin llegó!
Con cascabeles y sonrisas, ¡una alegría navideña sin igual!
Los pasillos se llenan de risas y obras de arte,
Y vocecitas alegres que iluminan cada día.
Nuestros estudiantes son el corazón de todo, el brillo y la luz,
Desde la bondad de los más pequeños hasta el talento que demuestran.
Con corazones bondadosos y manos dispuestas a ayudar, los animamos a crecer,
Envueltos en amor y aprendizaje, dondequiera que vayan.
Desde leer junto al árbol brillante hasta las canciones que nos encanta cantar,
Cada momento compartido es algo muy especial.
En la Escuela Primaria W.O. Lance, este mensaje resuena con claridad:
¡Queremos mucho a nuestros estudiantes y les deseamos a todos una temporada llena de alegría! 🎁❄️🎶
