TO THE NEW FIFTH GRADERS:

Welcome to the Middle School.
It's a really great place to be.
I hope you come in with a smile on your face
The first time you introduce yourself to me.

You will get your daily schedule,
And your own lock and locker too.
I bet your day will go really fast.
You'll be amazed at how the time flew.

The teachers are so very nice,
And they're here to give you a hand.
Your first year in the Middle School
Promises to be quite grand.

Middle School is a new beginning.
It's a chance to spread your wings.
We expect you to be more responsible
About lots of classroom things.

Always be prepared for class.
Your homework should be done on time.
Get to work in study hall,
And, really, you'll be just fine.
